Negative Positive
Title: Terribly written
Review: The authors are obviously breathlessly enthusiatic about the subject but as writers they flat-out stink: the book feels as if it's aimed at a nine-year old. It amounts to a capsule description of a number of successful football programs, accounts that are woefully thin in both anecdote and insight. Any attempt at humor is ham-fisted and strained. More unfortunate is the decision to end each chapter with "That's why this stadium is a Cathedral of College Football." Once or twice, ok. But every chapter? The idea for the book is a good one but the authors lack the talent to carry though on it, a shortcoming that is evident on every page. They should have left the writing of sports to professionals.
Is the review positive or negative?
