Críticas

I really wanted to like this book more than I did. The narrative showed real promise in the first few chapters but then it just started to go on and on with these pointless, unnecessary descriptive passages and entire chapters that seemed completely superfluous; the pacing comletely ruined. The characters were fully fleshed (if sometimes one-dimensional) and the plot was marvelously engaging. But I found myself wishing someone had gone to the trouble of editing it so it read less like a retired footballer's wistful vanity.

I won this book through GoodReads so thank you to the author who sent me this copy for review.

Ray Bentley was a linebacker who played for among others, the Buffalo Bills, so it stands to reason that his first adult book would feature a linebacker who plays for a football team in Buffalo. I really appreciate that he went to the trouble of making his own league, the North American Football Association, rather than writing around trademarks, (the League, the Big Game, and so on).

His experience gives the reader a realistic look at a locker room, language and all, but there is more than just football here. There’s a love story, shady dealings, fights both on and off the field. Driftwood is sure to keep you on edge.

Free review copy.
