I have to be honest and say I am giving this book 4 stars more because of the "setting" and the fact that I lived a mile from "Crocker".  It reminds me of the prestigious private university about 40 odd miles south of San Francisco.  This is the story of a #1 quarterback draft pick twice in the running for the Heisman.  There are so many spot-on parallels of these great football athletes who also have the academics to get into this University that endear me to these guys.  Did the story drag a bit, yes, was it truly realistic, no.  But like I said, the "nostalgic" side of me gives it four stars.  I kept reliving newspaper articles I'd read of their recent college football seasons.Also the length makes it a good value for the money.  While her writing style isn't the best, it is good.  I would buy another book from her.  Maybe the next book won't be set in my back yard and I'll be a bit more objective.
