Very dark and sadly prescient--will damage your enjoyment of football, although it's an excellent study of what drives an athlete. Would have given it one more star, but the ending seemed primarily for shock value and detracted from the book. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:National Bestseller: The "powerful novel" about the hidden side of pro football, written by a former NFL player (Newsweek). On the field, the men who play football are gladiators, titans, and every other kind of cliché. But when they leave the locker room they are only men. Peter Gent's classic novel looks at the seedy underbelly of the pro game, chronicling eight days in the life of Phil Elliott, an aging receiver for the Texas team. Running on a mixture of painkillers and cortisone as he tries to keep his fading legs strong, Elliott tries to get every ounce of pleasure out of his last days of glory, living the life of sex, drugs, and football. Adapted for the screen in 1979, this novel, written by ex-Dallas Cowboy Peter Gent, is widely considered the best football novel of all tim No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
