Summary: Regrets, We all have a Few
Comment: Harsh memories assault Neely Crenshaw, memories he'd rather forget when he arrives in Messina after a fifteen year absence. His high school football coach is on his deathbed and Neely, like many of the coach's former athletes, is coming home to spend his nights at the Messina Stadium waiting for the inevitable.
Neely hated Coach Eddie Rake during high school, but football offered him a future and under the coaches grueling demands, he became the team star with a promising career in the pros, but an injury playing college ball left him with a ruined knee.
So why did he come back to Messina, to make up with a girlfriend he'd left long ago, to see old friends, or to make peace with the coach? That's a question that Neely probably couldn't answer, but it makes for a wonderful book.
This is a story of paths not taken, regrets and forgiveness. I laughed, I cried and I wondered what my life would be like now, if I'd taken a different path. I loved this book.

Summary: Bleachers
Comment: I grew up in Mississippi and Grisham captures the essence of a small town. This book captures how high school football offers kids from a small town to find greatness.
I thought he was very insightful to also show oposing opinions from the "other side of the isle" who despise the hoopla and attention placed on High School Football programs.
As always, Grisham puts you right there experiencing the scene like you are there.
I think this book, along with The Last Juror,continue to show that he is truly a great writer as he broke away from the courtroom drama. He introduces characters and scenes that you experience and will never forget. He could write the phonebook, and you would smell the pages.
Rating: 5
Summary: Awsome
Comment: I usually avoid big name crime writers like Turow and Grisham because I dread very twisted unrealistic conspiratorial plots. I prefer instead lesser known writers like John Feegle and James Pruitt.
However the title Bleachers caught my attention {I was equipment manager of The Tampa Catholic Crusaders}. I found the plot and characters in the same league with my all my favorite crime writers.
If you enjoy Bleachers you might also enjoy Malpractice by John Feegle.
