Book Reviews of I Dream in Blue: Life, Death, and the New York Giants

Book Review: Sympathetic but loud
Summary: 3 Stars

Reading this book is like sitting next to the guy who shouts at the field the whole game - you share his enthusiasm, but by the end of the third quarter, you wish he'd pipe down. Director presents a stream-of-consciousness look into the Giants' 2007 season, with an addendum for the 2008 Super Bowl run, and it's fun... for a while. Diehard Giants fans will nod along with sympathy and amusement when the author talks about how his obsession with the team permeated his everyday life, and the author inserts plenty of self-deprecating humor about his run-ins with the Maras and the team. But, the ranting and profanity do get old after a while, and that his two heroes Barber and Shockey are but a memory with the team make this book feel dated before its time.

Summary of I Dream in Blue: Life, Death, and the New York Giants

I Dream in Blue is television producer Roger Director's up close and personal chronicle of the 2006-2007 seasons spent with Eli Manning, Plaxico Burress, and the rest of the New York Giants, from the first snap of summer camp to the final touchdown of a tumultuous, heart-stopping journey.

Throughout it all, Director's got only one end in mind: the Super Bowl. He guts it out with Big Blue, refusing to let anything sideline him-not his fumble-prone television career, not even the strain of occasionally having to act like a responsible husband and father. Along the way, he tells the story of this great sports dynasty's origins and traces its rise to become the heartbeat of New York City and, finally, the world-shocking, Patriots-beating king of pro football. Director was there in Phoenix with his Big Blue heroes as they pulled off the greatest upset in Super Bowl history. In this edition, featuring brand-new chapters that take Giants fans along for the ultimate joy ride, Director continues to dream in blue-and this time watches his dream come true.
