Juice
by Eric Walters |
How much does
the new football coach want to win? Very short and easy-to-read.
101 pages. (F WAL Bestseller Section) |

The story was astonishing, going through the
pressure one must undertake to win. All feelings overtake the players and
make them something they are not. This book was amazing. It made me think
more about the pressures in society. (I even read it twice in one month!)
