I learned so much about Glenn. I came across him elsewhere, and figured I would see if he had a book anywhere. This strikes the right balance of sports talk, personal, and when/how they mix.
It’s a shame that the book was not yet finished when he passed away. For that reason (likely) it seemed a tad hasty at the end compared to the development of others. Understandably so.

This wasn't really for me. I found the writing kind of cheesy. But it is very obviously written for a younger audience who are maybe not familiar with the history of lgbtq+ rights.
