Book Reviews of How Life Imitates the World Series (The Penguin sports library)

Book Review: One of the best sports books ever
Summary: 5 Stars

Boswell is one of the all time best sports writers and this is one of his best works. What makes Boswell's writing so memorable is that he writes about how sport discloses (exposes)the character of the people who play the game. Highly recommended. Mark Friedman
