Book Reviews of Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich
Book Review: Father and Sons Tragic Relationship
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is about far more than basketball, and the tale is well told by the author. It is about a gifted but emotionally weak son, a demanding and relentless father, and a mothers suicide. I happened to be at the Alabama vs LSU game when Pete had his greatest game as a collegiate. His awesome talent was obvious to everyone. What was not obvious was the trouble this young man was in.
At his peak he was the best player in the land, but he never met his or his fathers expectations, and it nearly destroyed them both.
