"Michael Lewis has such a gift for storytelling that it can be dangerous to his nonfiction. He is so much fun to read that he can appear to be shaping an entertaining narrative by sandpapering reality's rough edges. ...[THE BLIND SIDE'S] dialogue is sharp and its anecdotes well chosen. Its aim for both the heartstrings and the funny bone is right on the mark." "[A] compelling book....It is a remarkable story along the lines of Horatio Alger's, the anyone-can-do-it fable often considered the classic American tale." "...BLIND SIDE is a football book first, and a social critique almost by accident. Though small in scope, Lewis has written a tome that directly challenges the dumbed-down delivery of the brute-force school of football commentary....The story of football, in other words, is much bigger than big hits and turduckens. There is much left to tell." Publisher's noteThe best-selling author of Moneyball follows one young man from his impoverished childhood with a crack-addicted mother, through his discovery of the sport of football, to his rise to become one of the most successful, highly paid players in the NFL. 250,000 first printing. First serial, New York Times Magazine. AnnotationThe author of MONEYBALL intertwines the true life of a young man from the inner city who is given a chance and the changing game of football, especially in regard to the position of quarterback and the offensive linemen who block those intent on sacking him.
