Book Report

No courtroom drama. No arguing attorneys. Just banter, bluster, and bereavement. I would call this where “Friday Night Lights’ meets “News from Lake Wobegon.” But yet it is writings from the famed attorney author, John Grisham.
It goes something like this, former football jocks return to hometown to pay respects to their beloved football coach who is on the brink of passing on. The jock boys gather up in the bleachers to reminisce and recount crucial plays during various games in the past. The coach was the winningest coach in the school’s football history.
Title, Bleachers by John Grisham, sports fiction, Bestseller 2003
Library of Congress annotation:

After fifteen years former high school quarterback Neely Crenshaw returns to his hometown, where he learns that legendary football coach Eddie Rake lies dying. With other Spartans he reminisces about the “glory days” of their youth while contemplating his own lost potential.
A short read but good. Read it. You will like it. Low grade romance. Some naughty words. I liked the book.
