review 1: I have to say I am a little disappointed in this book. This is certainly not one of Mark Gimenez's better works. Don't get me wrong, the book is not bad. I found several parts that dragged and parts that kept me turning the page. The whole idea of centering the story around a football player was interesting. In our society, sports stars make the headlines on a variety of crimes they have allegedly committed. In some cases, those allegations are nothing but lies. Such as the Duke Lacrosse team accusation of rape.Let me get back on point with the book. The whole idea of the Dad and his team of drunks, investigating the case, was a reach for me. The ending was very abrupt and again hard to believe that one moment the main character is in front of the judge about to pl... moreead guilty to a crime he didn't commit and the next moment he is on the beach, a free man. What happened in between? The ending was incomplete. There is no mention what happened to the son. Did he go into the NFL? Did the father every clean up his act or are we suppose to believe his new love accepted him as a drunk. Hard to believe. There is very little court room drama and I wouldn't consider this a thriller. It was predictable. From what I said above, it does sound like I am really hammering this book. Certain parts, yes. However the story did keep me wanting to know what happened next.
review 2: I would probably give this book 3 1/2 stars. This is the story of William, an extremely talented young man who wants to play professional football and has the talent to do so. He comes from a fairly rich family and his father is a defense lawyer, who only represents innocent people. This book leads into typical situations and there are really no surprises. The characters are predictable and somewhat stereotypical. So why did I like it, I guess because I like football and this was a mindless read. Would I recommend it....only if you like football and mindless reads. less
