spenstar 's review for:

Sooley by John Grisham
4.0

Unlikely? Sure. Simplistic? Of course. Wonderful, heart-wrenching, lovely, terrible? Yeah.

Perhaps just the headspace I'm in, but I really enjoyed this. I've always been a sucker for Grisham's particular brand of sports writing, but I think he and John Green both do a spectacular job of writing about the positives that sports, and their legends, do for our human community.

I do wish Grisham had taken the ending in a different direction, and thus this book that was a 5-star read until the Tournament becomes a 4-star overall.

Sooley, Sooley, Sooley!
