Bleachers - Likewise Book Reviews

"i read this book for honors english and really liked it"

"If you're looking for a book about a bunch of stereotypical "all-American" jocks who peaked in high school then you've definitely come to the right place... I actually feel sorry for the characters in this book. Not because of the loss of their beloved coach but because they're all so stuck in the past that they don't have futures. I think to be 30+ years old and still longing for your high-school glory days is just sad. <br/><br/>Now a few words about Coach Rake...<br/>I firmly believe that he was a horrible, horrible man. He treated everyone in his life poorly especially the football players. He was cold and mean and all of the players admitted to strongly disliking, sometimes even hating him. His poor treatment of his football players even results in severe physical injury and death. He was even fired for it. Yet he was still idolized and called a hero and treated like such. I know if I had a coach that treated me this way, I wouldn't keep playing and definitely wouldn't attend his funeral...."

"Another great Grisham inspirational story "
