Summary: Quick read!
Comment: I, too, enjoyed this book. I was less putoff by the author than other reviewers although I can certainly understand some of their points. Still, he's a father looking out for his son and, well, I guess I could understand the lengths he went to help and protect his son during the recruiting process. By the end I was really pulling for the kid to do well and I was anxious to read his decision. You really can't ask for more from a Sunday afternoon read. I had wished for a different ending but, hey, it's not my life!

Summary: Dynamite Book
Comment: Recruiting confidential is just a great book. It operates at two levels. It is a dynamite sports story, and at a deeper level, a terrific family drama. I really liked the HONESTY and SENSITIVITY with which James' dad writes the story. He explains how he was adopted and how "blood" means nothing to him as far as being a dad is concerned. If you read between the lines you can tell that something horrific happened with James' father and that the bond James has with his dad is now as important to him as it is to the author.

The inside football stuff is just first-rate. Instead of the same old "rip city" treatments of big-time recruiting, you see it from the inside. You ride in the car with James and his dad, you go to the schools, and meet the coaches. You experience the highs and the lows as they happen. Best of all, you can't put it down, because you want to know how it will end.

Get this one, it's a treat.

Summary: Good book.
Comment: Good story about how a kid gets recruited to play college football. The recapping of his high school games gets tedious though. Either buy it or go to the library because it is worth reading.
