The Boys of Riverside: A Deaf Football Team and a Quest for Glory by Thomas Fuller

4.0

---

I appreciated learning more about deaf culture and history through this book. I would have liked more personal stories of the players and coaches, but those that were there were excellent, especially those that detailed how deaf people are treated in other countries. I didn't care much about the play-by-play of each game (I thought the book focused too much on that) but enjoyed learning about the differences in how deaf teams communicate while playing the game.
