Title: Captivating Story
Product review: It's quite an odd subject for a writer of Michael Lewis's stature to cover, and the story line of the book is quite odd too. It made more sense at the end of the book when Lewis explained that the Touhy family of Memphis, TN are old friends of his. The story of the impoverished high school student Michael Oher from Memphis, TN was fascinating on many levels. The importance of sports today guarantees that a superior talent will be found and nurtured one way or another. Oher's case is about as extreme as you can imagine - being "adopted" by a wealthy Memphis family and hand-held all the way to an improbable college football scholarship and apparantely very good shot at the NFL. It's an extremely well researched and captivating story that will interest many, put particularly sports fans.
