Media Reviews
"It’s not a jock book. It’s not a sociology book. It’s a storybook about modern society, ancient virtues, and the power of love, money and talent to do a little good." -- Jay Hancock - Baltimore Sun
"The Blind Side is as insightful and moving a meditation on class inequality in America as I have ever read—although to put it that way, I realize, makes it sound deadly dull. It isn’t." -- Malcolm Gladwell, author of Talking to Strangers and The Tipping Point
"Lewis’s overview of the evolution of NFL strategy…is not only sound but shrewder than that of many so-called football insiders who can’t see the forest for the trees." -- Allen Barra - Washington Post
"[Lewis] is advancing a new genre of journalism." -- George F. Will - New York Times Book Review
"The Blind Side works on three levels. First as a shrewd analysis of the NFL; second, as an exposé of the insanity of big-time college football recruiting; and, third, as a moving portrait of the positive effect that love, family, and education can have in reversing the path of a life that was destined to be lived unhappily and, most likely, end badly." -- Wes Lukowsky - Booklist
