You Can't Make This Up: Miracles, Memories, and the Perfect Marriage of Sports and Television by Al Michaels

3.0

This book is very long (too long). The first part of the book is fascinating. He tells his story about working his way up to the job he wanted. It's a great story about persistence and he tells mostly unknown stories. Once he gets the job he wanted he's just telling meandering pointless stories people already know (because he already told them on tv) and name drops people. The only exception was the chapter about miracle on ice and that's just such a compelling story I probably overlooked the previously mentioned faults.

I love sports and I love sports stories. I did not, however, like this book. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone-- which is really a shame because the first half is so good!
