Review
[A] comic dissection of male bonding. . . . Sharply observed and sympathetic and funny enough to win over even those readers who abhor football and its fans.
Powerful, intelligent, and entertaining. . . . Chris Bachelder works a kind of poignant comedic magic, expertly locating and drawing out central truths about life.--Drew Nellins Smith
Bachelder reveals the magic of professional sport spectating, the silliness and profundity of traditions, and the tender illogic of friendship. . . . There is absolutely something for everyone (even the sports-averse) in this rollicking, irreverent but sweet human drama.--Julia Jenkins
A gem . . . Bachelder's 'football' novel is an eerie, witty work dissecting a modern-day sacrificial ritual.--Matt Seidel
[A] wryly amusing rumination on manhood and male bonding. . . . Filled with subtle humor and incisive insights, Bachelder's novel will resonate with anyone who has pondered the game of life.
