Bleachers

Edition:	Reprint
Author:	Grisham, John

Description: John Grisham ventures out of the suspense field and onto the football field in this story of a once-great high school quarterback, Neely Crenshaw, who, years later, returns to the scene of his glory days to attend a memorial to his old coach, the controversial Eddie Rake--a man about whom Neely has decidedly mixed feelings. And those are what he has to come to terms with if he wants to bury the past and look forward to the future.

Reviews...

New York Times Book Review (09/28/2003) - by Turrentine, Jeff
"This is a book designed to make a certain type of grown man cry, and the author knows exactly which buttons to push....What saves the story from melodrama is Grisham`s refusal to offer pat resolutions; he allows his ambivalent characters to remain so. It also helps that he`s a surefooted storyteller with an undeniable mastery of plotting, pacing and tone."
