Title: More a football memoir than anything else
Product review: My niece gave me this book to help me work through my mid-life crisis. Maybe teaching would be my next career!. So I read through this mostly football book and found that the teacher makes only cameo appearances while Edmondson gives you lots of details about his height, weight and playing style.The teacher, who left the profession after only one year, is never well defined. He gives up trying to teach his students the classics of philosophy but has more luck with Kesey and Malcolm X. Oddly the pivotal momemt seems to be a snow-ball fight.If this book had been advertised as a high school memoir about inner growth and the importance of football, I would give it 4 stars. However, as it is I think the author and publisher are guilty of false advertising.
