Book Reviews of The Perfect Season: How Penn State Came to Stop a Hurricane and Win a National Football Championship
Book Review: Man, what a book!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Man what a book!!!! Fortunately for me, I was a student at PSU when this game was played. Some of the players were in my classes and some of them I knew on a first name basis.
This book took me back to a time when life was simpler and simple satisfactions, like football, at the time meant little, but over time they mean a lot more.
The author takes you into the game. Not just what you saw on TV and how the announcers made it look, but really takes you into the pre-game, how the Fiesta Bowl people did what they did to get this game played on Jan 2.
He takes you on the field with each of the players 20 years later as they relive the greatest college game that they ever played. Even the insights from the Miami players makes this book totally complete.
I couldn't put it down and am glad I bought it. I gave it to my Brother and he read it in about 4 days.
Great book, great story
