madameroyale 's review for:

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

3.5

---

I really enjoyed the early parts of this book, especially the chapters focusing on Deaf history and culture, both in the United States and around the world. The sports side of things was interesting enough to begin with—who doesn’t love an underdog story?—but Fuller’s game summaries became dull and repetitive by the end.
