Book Reviews of A Book of Two Halves: Football Short Stories
Book Review: A diverse collection of short stories
Summary: 4 Stars
I first read this book at the height of the France 98 world cup finals, and I think it enhanced my enjoyment of "the beautiful" game. Some of the ideas in the book are just brilliant - Aliens that look like Bobby Charlton, a University of Football - each story has its own unique style, and some of the writing highly accurate and insightful. If you appreciate football, and good writing, (or you know someone who does) then purchase this book.
