This book is a searing indictment of football especially for kids high school age or younger. It focuses primarily on one young man from Iowa (Zac). Due to his style of play he suffers a series of head injuries that will leave him damaged mentally and physically. The author focuses on his personal diary, text messages and interviews with his family and friends. There is also a heavy emphasis on the history of and current data on football related head trauma at the high school, college and professional level. I love football but this book is a real eye opener. ( )
