Praise
“Another must-read from a master of long-form sports journalism.”
—Booklist, starred review
“Eminent sportswriter Feinstein embedded himself with five successful quarterbacks . . . tak[ing] readers from one breathtaking finish to another. With a critical eye and unsurpassed sense of sports history and culture, Feinstein examines qualities of leadership, the politics and drama within locker rooms and league offices, and the unrelenting pressure that can either crush a quarterback or turn him into a legend. Stellar research and storytelling that makes this an essential read for NFL fans and sports enthusiasts.”
—Library Journal, starred review
“A worthy offering for fans of the modern, increasingly embattled game.”
–Kirkus Reviews
Praise for The First Major
“Feinstein’s talent always has been the depth of his relationships, which enables him to get important figures to divulge intimate details of what transpired. . .The book features one interesting anecdote after another . . . In the hands of a lesser writer, a book about a lopsided match would have been hard to pull off. Feinstein, though, knows how to tell a good story, regardless of the outcome.”
—Chicago Tribune
Praise for The Legends Club
“One of [John Feinstein’s] best, a beguilingly personal, sometimes heartbreaking look at the psychic cost of doing battle in America’s most brutally, nakedly competitive (and actual) arenas. It makes a fitting bookend to the author’s first, A Season on the Brink (1986), his hair-raising exposé of Indiana coach Bobby Knight, expletives included.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“The legends are right there in the subtitle: Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Valvano, and an Epic College Basketball Rivalry. The unbilled fourth legend is the author. His longstanding relationships with the principals give the book its insider appeal; his history with each man goes back decades, and the intersecting, layered looks at each are built on firsthand knowledge . . . Funny and smart.”
—USA Today
“Feinstein entertains readers with fair, objective observations based on fact and his unique inside access gained not only through years of his coverage but also through many new interviews with former players, coaches and administrators. . . In a famous speech before he died, Valvano implored all of us to attempt to do three things each day: laugh, think and cry. He would be pleased with The Legends Club because it will evoke all three from readers, no matter where their college basketball allegiances lie.”
—The Washington Post
