Bleachersby John Grisham is a very entertaining, sports-fiction novel that grabs a readers attention. Though it’s not a very long book by any means, it is a good, concise, inspiring story of a coach and his former players and their journeys together over the course of 34 years of Eddie Rake coaching Messina High School football. The internal conflicts of the main character, Neely Crenshaw, are very intriguing and realistic problems that make the reader think about the way these characters feel. If I had to change something about the book I would hope for a better resolution, though the resolution’s not bad, it seems to drop the story off in the middle of nowhere. All in all on a scale of ten I would call it a 7.5, a good story with a few minor faults in it, and would recommend it to someone who is interested in sports stories.
