Bleachers
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • High school all-American Neely Crenshaw was probably the best quarterback ever to play for the legendary Messina Spartans. Fifteen years have gone by since those glory days, and Neely has come home to Messina to bury Coach Eddie Rake, the man who molded the Spartans into an unbeatable football dynasty.
Now, as Coach Rake’s “boys” sit in the bleachers waiting for the dimming field lights to signal his passing, they replay the old games, relive the old glories, and try to decide once and for all whether they love Eddie Rake – or hate him. For Neely Crenshaw, a man who must finally forgive his coach – and himself – before he can get on with his life, the stakes are especially high.

We all know that John Grisham is one of the best writers in the world. They way he told this story, weaving the tapestry of town obsessed with football, the heartthrobs and heartaches that are inevitable, John Grisham truly got this one right. I lived and breathed football during the ‘80s when my high school ruled the state. This novel is for all of us!

While I am a fan of John Grishim books, I have never been a fan of football.I picked up this book thinking I would never finish it. I began reading it this morning, have been unable to put it down.i read the entire book in one sitting. Mr. Grishim you have again written a most captivating story. A story which I have enjoyed enormously.thank you for putting pen to paper and again sharing your amazing gift with us. Kindest regards, Judy Quinn

Not a legal thriller like the rest, but definitely just as good if not better! I felt the emotions building up inside of me as I read through this touching and emotional story. If you've ever played football in high school or even watched as a true fan then you must read this book!!
