Title: Fascinating story
Product review: There's a lot to like about this book. The story of African-American Michael Oher and how his acceptance into a conservative Southern family helped him develop from a homeless, socially awkward teenager into a self-confident left tackle pursued by coaches from college-football powers, is heart-warming. Michael Lewis's writing is deft, and his effort at tying Oher's story into an account of how the left tackle position became so important in the NFL is masterful. It's a good read for football fans, and even non-fans can enjoy this rags-to-riches story as well. The movie version is good, too, but I recommend the book for its depth and detail.
