Negative Positive
Title: Definitely NOT an unbiased portrayal
Review: Being new to the Triangle area, I was excited to read about the storied history of the Duke-Carolina rivalry in an unbiased fashion. In reading Mr. Chansky's book, its clear where his loyalties lie. His text is weaved with snide comments about Coach K and the Duke athletic and academic program, while at the same time lionizing Coach Smith the the UNC progam. Don't be fooled: this is not an unbiased portrayal of Duke-Carolina.Chansky's book could also have benefited from better editing. He spends single paragraphs describing some of the most thrilling Duke-Carolina games, but then rambles on for pages about inconsequential stuff, such as CD Chesley's TV deals or Coach K's American Express commercials (an obvious sore point for Chansky).I wouldn't recommend this book. Probably a better read would be "To Hate Like This Is to Be Happy Forever" since its at least honest about its affliation and more entertaining.
