Praise
"Banking his usual over-the-top humor, Korman goes straight to the heart."
08/15/2009
"Gordon Korman has used news reports and studies that link repeated concussions to dementia in former N.F.L. players to create a brisk, heartfelt and timely novel about the risks of pursuing a sport that can devastate one's brain."
