    • Playing For Pizza

      If you are looking for a fast paced, well written book, you have scored! However, unlike the typical novels by John Grisham, this one shall make football a source of laughter, while educating you about Northern Italy. It is based on fact, naturally. American football, played for the most part by Italian men who are not of the younger generation, yet still in love with the sport. Maybe the quarterback might remind some of the readers of someone from their High School, or even early professional days who always showed promise. Knowing zip about the game helped me. We all view it differently, so how it affects you remains up to you. It was worth the few hours, for all the healing giggles produced. Go for it!

  • Christopher Evan Welch kicks and scores with his engaging narration of Grisham's charming tale of touchdowns and tortellini. Rick Dockery, a 28-year-old third-string NFL quarterback, is playing for the Cleveland Browns. In the final minutes of a decisive game, Rick is brought off the bench to disastrous results. The Browns lose the game and a chance at going to the Super Bowl. After he is unceremoniously dumped by the team, the quarterback agrees to play for a small but tenacious team called the Parma Panthers--whose playing field is in Parma, Italy. Welch perfectly captures the tone for this humorous and often touching fish-out-of-water story. Welch brings the listener along with Rick, as the young quarterback painfully adjusts to the strange new world he's thrust into. He brings to life Rick's discovery of Italy, with all its history and colorful characters. Especially delicious are the descriptions of the rich Italian foods that Rick and his teammates seem to constantly consume. By the end of the book, listeners will be seeking out the nearest Italian trattoria. Simultaneous release with the Doubleday hardcover (Reviews, Sept. 24). (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
