About this listen
He was ready for the game. The initiation and the aftermath...that was a different story.
Carter Lynch was an outsider, an army brat transfer. He had what it took to be a star. He was focused, talented...violent. Carter didn't join the football team to make friends or win championships. He didn't care about anything but taking a starting spot, earning a scholarship, and leaving. Until he met Sara and Ben.
Ben was desperate to fit in, desperate for the same starting spot, and desperate for the same girl. The uneasy friends were on a collision course that would change everything. Adult language and sexual content.

Story
Mo Williams is cursed. Cursed with the loss of his football scholarship. Cursed with the loss of his mother. But life goes on, and Mo needs a job, preferably a good job. Menial jobs pale in comparison to the roar of 106,000 fans at Beaver Stadium. His big break comes in the form of a job interview at Total Sports Agency. But this is no ordinary interview and goes beyond the typical résumé and references.

Story
A high school ruled by small-town politics. A rural community ruled by rumors. The truth may set them free. But are they ready for it? The residents of West Lake are resistant to change and afraid of confrontation. They’re happy to punch in and punch out and complain about the boss man. They’re friendly to your face but spiteful behind your back. They have their farms and their football, but, underneath that small-town veneer, there’s envy and self-hatred and greed.

Story
James Fisher taught his students to question authority, much to the chagrin of his principal. He loved his wife, but his marriage was failing. His life was a bubble in search of a pin. After his bubble burst, he moved to a backwoods town, content to waste away. He was awakened from his apathy by a small girl with a big problem. It was safer to look the other way. Getting involved would place James squarely in the crosshairs of the local police. He was afraid, but he did it anyway.

Matt Moyer is an orphaned teen growing up on a primitive farm in the Pennsylvania coal region.

Through a harrowing sequence of events, Matt is forced to attend a public school. The feral teen finds it difficult to cope with the hypocrisy, propaganda, and misinformation that adults and children so readily accept.

That’s what I had to decide. I had it all. At least that’s what people told me. Beauty, brains, and a rich husband. I deserved it too. My fiancé had cheated on me with my best friend. But, I won in the end, or at least I thought I had. Until Christmas of 1999. My ex-fiancé, Danny, showed up at my parents’ house, wanting to talk to my father. Danny’s a police officer, and my father’s a retired officer. A six-year-old girl had disappeared without a trace, resembling a case my father had worked on years earlier.

In a world of infinite information and propaganda screaming at us from every direction, the truth is of paramount importance to our mental health, and can be a matter of life and death for every person on this planet. In The Propaganda Project, I expose the tricks of the propagandist--the tricks needed to legitimize the illegitimate, to make us think up is down, black is white. I dig deep into the muck to extract the truth about government, and the financial interests pulling the strings.

I can't say they didn't warn me. Right now, I realize: I probably should have listened. Because if there's anyone who has no business playing a sport that requires a helmet, pads, and a liability waiver, it's this girl. The same girl who once knocked herself out during a game of backyard baseball. I stepped up to the plate, pulled the bat back a little too far to swing, and clocked myself in the back of the skull. Boom. Lights Out Lucy. That's how I got my roller derby name. So yeah. Maybe I should have known better.

Very well written. Very well told.
Another very insightful book by this author. High school/football antics. Family dynamics. Sex. Alcohol. Hazing. Domestic abuse. Child abuse/neglect.
There is a lot of play by play football in this story. So I hope you like football.
The dual narrators do a very nice job presenting the story. However, the females all sounded the same. But didn't distract at all.
So very well written. So very well told.

Great book!
I totally enjoyed this book but it was disturbing. It follows a high school football player thru a thought provoking roller coaster of emotion due to several abusive situations. If you are triggered by such things, this is not the book for you.

Compelling Coming-Of-Age Story
Phil M Williams has written a story about two boys who both wanted to join the high school football team. Once chosen, new team members are forced to go through a rite of passage by the older team members. This initiation can sometimes have devastating consequences. The story was heart-breaking and relevant to what happens in schools today. There was some sexual content. Tristan Wright's and Sarah Grace Wright's narrations were evocative and added to the story's impact. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

Coming of age is so hard!
I wish all our teens these days had Carter and Sarah's sense of self. This is especially true when our parents leave a lot to be desired. Carter has a lot of trials and tribulations but keeps moving forward - always. Great coming of age story. Loved this book!
