<p>By the author of the bestselling <b>Moneyball</b>&#58; in football, as in life, the value we place on people changes with the rules of the games they play.</p> <h3>The New York Times - Janet Maslin</h3> <p>Michael Lewis has such a gift for storytelling that it can be dangerous to his nonfiction. He is so much fun to read that he can appear to be shaping an entertaining narrative by sandpapering reality's rough edges. The real-life fable that is <i>The Blind Side</i> tells how a mountainous, destitute black teenager miraculously morphs into an Ole Miss football hero and becomes a member of a wealthy white evangelical family. Its dialogue is sharp and its anecdotes well chosen. Its aim for both the heartstrings and the funny bone is right on the mark.</p>
