Book Reviews of Black and Honolulu Blue: In the Trenches of the NFL
Book Review: best sports book!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I went into the Penn State book store at the Indiana game to buy a hat and I purchased this book, because after listening to this 2 time All-American from PSU / All-Pro Detroit Lion talk on the PSU radio show that morning, Keith sounded very articulate and I wanted to see if he wrote as well as he talked. Was I surprised! This book was not a book about how great a player he was, and he was a terrific player, but it showed, as the title states. "life in the trenches in the NFL." I felt like I was experiencing the nightmare of rookie camp, and how difficult it is for a player to adjust to football at the pro level. Keith talks about injuries, harsh playing conditions, what it is like to be a "big guy", and my favorite part of the game... the hitting. As a frustrated athlete who only played a little high school football, this book helped me expreience the rigors of football at the college and pro level. Oh yes, Penn State fans, he also has a chapter on Joe Pa, what it was like to play for him, and some inside stuff that the reader may not have heard. As other reviews have stated, this book is a must read for everyone, whether you are a fan or not, because it is well-written and deals with how to overcome obstacles in life and how to succeed by keeping a positive attitude in whatever you do. I signed on to Amazon to order 3 more for gifts. Great job Keith!
