Review
"Paterno is a portrait very much in three dimensions. It is the story of an extraordinary life."
"It is exhilirating to read of Paterno the man and gripping to read of his downfall."
The truth is that ["Paterno"] is a portrait very much in three dimensions. In that sense, Posnanski succeeds...We are left with this book as the final record of the final days. It is more than that, obviously - it is the story of an extraordinary life - but it is most compelling as a chronicle of the end."
""Paterno" adds grain and texture to the historical record.... makes a cogent case for absorbing Paterno's entire legacy."--Dwight Garner "The New York Times "
"I urge you to read ["Paterno"]. . . A life is never defined entirely by a man's good, or by his bad."--Mike Vaccaro "New York Post "
