WORTH CONSUMING!

This is quite simply, the greatest sports biography ever written. It might also be the greatest basketball book ever, and it is possibly the best biography of Bill Bradley ever.

It is particularly interesting reading about Bradley’s college days- how he took Princeton to the Final Four, and scored 58 points in the consolation game, but also how the sharp mind and fierce persistence developed in his later career in the Senate.

You just have to read it.

Your enthusiasm

is inspiring and I’m not even a fan lol.

I’m glad that you enjoyed it so much; I just love when I pick something up and it, quite unexpectedly, completely enthralls me.

I didn't mean to sound so enthusiastic...

I simply love McPhee. He only writes non-fiction, but has a much better sense of the ebb and flow of story than most movelists. I didn’t read this as a sports fan, or even a Bill Bradley fan (although I am both), but as a McPhee fan.
