Football

I have often been teased while watching football in a group of people for not understanding the rules of the game. I was in the sports section of the library and came across this informational book, Picture Library Football by Norman Barrett. I thought, "Wow! What a great chance to learn some of the basics of football." I enjoyed reading this book and feel like I learned a lot about the game. I feel that the book is appealing for someone who enjoys football and is interested in learning more about it but unexciting and boring for someone who is uninterested in football. Barrett makes a point that football may appear to be a 'disorganized free-for-all' as I once viewed it, but once you get through the book you realise that there are a lot of logistics to the game. This book is a good guide for someone looking to enhance their knowledge of football. After reading this book, I will never be able to watch a Bears game the same! Maybe I will be able to be the one to teach my friends a thing or two about football...
