Crimson Slide Why Alabama Football Fell and How I
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.25/5 from 8 reviews Sad but trueFlax really hits the Tide hard in this book. Unfortunately, he's right on. It's too bad that Bama fell from the top but at least someone took the time to write about it. A good read. The writing is good for this type of book. The passion shows. After reading other reviews on Amazon it's only fair to say that Flax is writing about football...don't compare him to Faulkner or Hemingway. He's young enough to have a chance at those two and a whole lot more before he's done. Definitely worth reading. Roll Tide!!! Not badI thought some of the prose was shaky, but in all a pretty harsh indictment of the Bama program from a Homer. Try "A Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football" for a great look at the nation's toughest football conference. Roll Tide~! The Tide is LowThis is a fun book for anyone interested in Alabama football. It's actually refreshing to pick up a book that (1) is not dedicated to the distant glorious past and (2) is willing to expose the successes and failures (mostly the latter) of recent exploits in Tuscaloosa. The author's writing is not to be confused with Hemingway or Faulkner; however, he does just fine for this sort of book. I hope the author continues to revise and update for future editions. Perhaps "Crimson Slide" will someday have a happy ending. | ||||||||||||||||||
