Book Reviews of The Good, the Bad & the Ugly New England Patriots: Heart-pounding, Jaw-dropping, and Gut-wrenching Moments from New England Patriots History (Good, the Bad, & the Ugly)
Book Review: Decent but not exceptional history of the Patriots
Summary: 4 Stars
Well the title kind of sums up my feelings towards this book. In one respect it is a cheerleading tome for Bill Bellichick and all that he has accomplished. Not to diminish Bill's exceptional work but the Patriots are one of the most colorful franchises in sports history and deserve more than just a superficial treatment.
I agree with one of the other reviewers who mentioned all that was missing in this book including great players like John Smith and Stanley Morgan as well as a history of the really terrible drafts the Pats made before drafting Drew Bledsoe. Actually there are a few after Bledsoe. I would have also like to see more than a passing mention of Pete Carroll and his failure to win with the Pats while winning national titles at USC. It wasn't because Carroll was soft that we know now.
Still, despite being superficial, the book is enjoyable enough for Patriot fans to read and get some sense that life did exist and there was an NFL franchise in Boston before Tom Brady and company. I would recommend it as a good read.
Summary of The Good, the Bad & the Ugly New England Patriots: Heart-pounding, Jaw-dropping, and Gut-wrenching Moments from New England Patriots History (Good, the Bad, & the Ugly)
This is it: the unbelievable true story of how a team that barely qualified to be part of the original AFL became the first NFL dynasty of the 21st century. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: New England Patriots presents a fast-paced, entertaining look at 48 years of Patriots history. There are heroes and villains, the expert and the inept, moments of glory and moments of agony, triumphs, tragedies, and terrible trip-ups. The details you always wanted to know, the moments you hope you'll remember forever, the players, coaches, and owners you know you'll never forget (for better or for worse). This is the New England Patriots at their best, their worst, and their weirdest.Professional Books
