Review # 1 was written on 2011-01-19 00:00:00 Michael Murphy Full disclosure: I bought this novel for my less-than-impressive, but growing, classroom library; that was a mistake. Watching Mr. Lupica on Sunday mornings on ESPN, I had no idea that he was so devoted to cursing. The novel contains a lot of gratuitous foul language, it is rather puzzling. The novel contains too many sexual overtones and situations to introduce to a junior high classroom. Mistakenly, I thought that was the target group for this story. I am a little a puzzled about the intended audience for this piece, given the construction of the story. The book is quick, light read. No heavy storylines and one surprising turn in the text. The story includes more than a few clever quips and absurdly funny scenes (the stepmom hitting on the son in the limo after dad's/her husband's funeral), but far too often the portrayal of the fictional players and people feels little a bitter, old white man lamenting that the world is going to hell in a hand basket. The characters are caricatures that are all over the top in every aspect of their speech and actions, like the player that owns a players only bordello/strip club/resturant in NYC. The timing of the story is now a problem for the younger generation. The young adults that would read this would not understand all of the 90's pop culture references that support the comedy within the story, so the material has become a little dated.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-03-03 00:00:00 Jennifer Goodwin This book is a story of success. First of all Jack had an injury and couldn't continue playing football anymore. But he became the owner of a fantasy NFL team. Also an owner of a casino. This story is pretty interesting and pretty funny at some points. It uses some innapropriate language but if you don't mind that you would love this bool. I would rate this book an overall 4/5.
