Belichick and Brady: Two Men, the Patriots, and How They Revolutionized Football by Michael Holley
fionak's review against another edition
3.0
Given the title, it should not be surprising that this book is really a paean to the Patriots' long-time coach and his dutiful quarterback. Focusing mostly on the Superbowl and League champion years the two men have shared, the book also deals with the scandals surrounding the team, notably Deflategate, and the author defends his subjects with no pretense of impartiality.
The writing itself is rather choppy and lacks the sort of narrative flow I admire in good non-fiction. It's not unreadable though and the tale is interesting enough to sustain the attention of any NFL afficianado.
Thank you to Hachette Books who were kind enough to send me a free review copy which my father now seems to be enjoying more than I did.

A really fascinating insight into Tom Brady & Bill Belichick- the super bowls the scandals. This book has really increased my knowledge of NFL ahead of the new season.

If there was a team the Patriots and their fans hated more than the Jets, it was the Colts. And if there was anything that annoyed a Patriots fan as much as a reference to Spygate, it was the notion that Manning was better than Brady.
Lettura perfetta per aspettare il Super Bowl!!

This is such an insightful book, not only about Belichick and Brady but the team as a whole. I found the information about the draft process, how Belichick handled letting players go, and how those players felt to be very interesting. It was also interesting to read about how the dynamics of the team shifted after Bledsoe went down with the injury and when Brady stepped in. I am so happy that I finally read this book after so long.
