Summary: And I Roared. . .
Review: Any true sports fan is incomplete without reading this masterful account of some of the greatest moments in sports history. With simple words, Garner captures the drama and passion of a fan's love affair with the impossible catch, the knockout punch, or the record breaking sprint. This book brings back the memories of the moments we clung to as our heroes prevailed and we talked about for days after. I, for one, was spellbound and have already added "And the Fans Roared" to my holiday shopping list!

Review: I found that the simplicity of Garner's writing style is an appropriate vehicle for conveying the power of sports' most memorable moments. He strikes a balance between overintellectualizing and patronizing the reader. He continues the spellbinding tradition of "And the Crowd Goes Wild" while simultaneously breaking new ground. This book is definitely a great gift idea for the sports fan in your family!
