Book Review: A Must Read for Red Sox Fans
Summary: 5 Stars
Those familiar will Bill Simmons' column on ESPN know that his writing style is highly entertaining and unique. Not a traditional sportswriter Bill writes from the viewpoint of the fan, putting in writing what everyone else is thinking. The book compiles all his Red Sox related columns over a 5 year period, leading up to their first World Series Championship in 86 years. Its fun to relive the emotions of being a fan in those years, and the steps the team made to get to the pinnacle of the sport. While the columns aren't anything new, the footnotes that are added offer a unique perspective into what Simmons was thinking or explanations for jokes he refers to in previous columns. The footnotes really bring his columns to another level. The book is a very easy and entertaining read. Personally its my old standby for long flights, because it never fails to make me laugh out loud.
