Belichick and Brady

Given the title, it should not be surprising that this book is really a paean to the Patriots' long-time coach and his dutiful quarterback. Focusing mostly on the Superbowl and League champion years the two men have shared, the book also deals with the scandals surrounding the team, notably Deflategate, and the author defends his subjects with no pretense of impartiality.

The writing itself is rather choppy and lacks the sort of narrative flow I admire in good non-fiction. It's not unreadable though and the tale is interesting enough to sustain the attention of any NFL afficianado.

Thank you to Hachette Books who were kind enough to send me a free review copy which my father now seems to be enjoying more than I did.
