Book Reviews of The Great Philadelphia Fan Book
Book Review: The Title Says It All
Summary: 5 Stars
No book has ever dared to delve so deep into the unyielding heart of a Philadelphia sports fan than The Great Philadelphia Fan Book. Anthony Gargano and Glen MacNow, staples of Philadelphia's sports radio WIP and the city's sports scene itself took on the task and produced a gritty work of art.
I loved the book's humor, it's intensity, and its unflinching look at what it means to be a sports fan in Philadelphia. What it means to be a sports fan period.
From Buddy Ryan to Rich Kotite; from the Broad Street Bullies to the overblown snowballing of Santa Claus incident (Which I read over and over again and laugh aloud each time), this book covers it all.
This book is a Must-Have for anyone who has ever screamed their hearts out for their team.
This book has it all.
Book Review: EXCELLENT!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a devoted Philadelphia fan, one who only supports my favorite Philly teams, I was in the bookstore looking for gifts for some of my buds. This book called to me like a gift from god. Somehow, Macnow and Gargano really capture everything that is a philadelphia fan -- the pain of loss, and the spirit of the city. Somehow they pull together every one of those great philly sports moments into one great book. I recommend this for anyone's x-mas or holiday present -- male, female, young, old. This is possibly the best book i've ever read.Trust me, this is one purchase you'll never regret.
Macnow and Gargano are amazing.
Book Review: The Cuz & Mac deliver!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a diehard Philadelphia fan currently attending Drexel. If your a Philadelphia sports fan this is a must have. It captures all of the greatest and not so greatest sports moments, including my highschool Bonner in one section. Gargano, the cuz, is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and Macnow knows as much about the city as anyone. I did not put the book down untill I read it from cover to cover. If your a sports fan, BUY THIS BOOK!!!Book Review: Great book for the Philly fans
