About this product

Product Information

High school all-American Neely Crenshaw was probably the best quarterback ever to play for the legendary Messina Spartans. Fifteen years have gone by since those glory days, and Neely has come home to Messina to bury Coach Eddie Rake, the man who molded the Spartans into an unbeatable football dynasty. Now, as Coach Rake's "boys" sit in the bleachers waiting for the dimming field lights to signal his passing, they replay the old games, relive the old glories, and try to decide once and for all whether they love Eddie Rake - or hate him. For Neely Crenshaw, a man who must finally forgive his coach - and himself - before he can get on with his life, the stakes are especially high.

  • lightweight with great features

    This was a very short book (under 200 pages). That said, how long can you make a story about a bunch of jocks waiting for their coach to die remembering their old games in a town that lives and dies on high school football.

  • entertaining but not compelling.

    Not as good as most of Grisham's novels. Didn't have an intricate plot, danger, suspense, good guys / bad guys.
