Title: Good read despite being not exactly what you might think from the movie
Product review: My family saw the movie so we decided to get the book; I remembered vaguely reading a New York Times magazine piece that Lewis wrote on the subject some time ago that I assume was excerpted from the book and thought it would be interesting to get the full story. It's an interesting and enjoyable book overall, with one main caveat: the movie for obvious reasons takes the Michael Oher story as the primary focus, while the book is fairly balanced between Oher's inspiring life story and the larger story about the "evolution of a game," namely football, that Lewis addresses using Oher as a jumping-off point. As long as you understand that's going on and aren't surprised you should enjoy the story and the football analysis!
