Review # 1 was written on 2013-11-10 00:00:00 Robert Ahearn An interesting look back to the late 1990s is provided by this book written by one of the finest journalists with an insight to the workings of British football clubs. This book published approximately five years after the conception of the Premier League and some fifteen years ago is remarkably prescient in many ways, describing the increasing separation of haves and have nots and the effect this has had on the grass roots game. Where the author was less prescient was in predicting a greater preponderance of market flotations amongst the clubs rather than the prevailing increase of private takeovers by hugely wealthy individuals. A wise and caring book that suffers a little from the repetition of points in slightly different ways, this is nonetheless a passionate book from an author with a deeply held connection to the game of football.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-09 00:00:00 Sean Carton This book is detailed account of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition and it's impact on the careers of top pianists worldwide. I studied piano for 12 years, and was familiar with much of the music discussed, but very few of the pianists named were familiar to me. Still, the difficulty in achieving a high level career in the arts is fascinating to me, and I found Horowitz's discussions very interesting. I was only able to give the book three stars because much of the content had an "insider's appeal."
