Book Reviews of The Good Stuff: Columns about the Magic of Sports

Book Review: Poz knows his stuff, and really knows why people love sports
Summary: 4 Stars

If you're a sports fan, then you know how much a good sports columnist can change the way you feel about sports. For anyone who's picked up a Kansas City Star over the past six years, they know Joe Posnanski (aka the Poz) is one of the best sports writers in the country.

The Associated Press recently awarded him Best Sports Columnist in the country, and, reading this book, its easy to see why.

His columns evoke more emotion and sentiment, and are funnier, than just about any other writer's can ever hope too.

If you want to check out his writing style, go to www.kansascity.com and read his last few columns. You won't be disappointed!

Summary of The Good Stuff: Columns about the Magic of Sports

Baseball, football, basketball, golf : If they're playing it, Joe Posnanski savors it. As columnist for The Kansas City Star, he has written eloquently about big victors and stirring victories, and also about humbled losers and heartfelt loss. These essays, collected from his work for The Star, are all about life as told through the medium of sport - whatever's in season.
