I found the writing style to be somewhat boring and simplistic. The voice of his book just wasn’t appealing to me despite enjoying some of the stories within about Bill and Red.

I'm not really a sports person, but I am a mythology fan and the Boston Celtics, especially in this era, seem mythological to me.  I really liked Russell and having read this, my admiration for him has grown.  Learned some things I didn't know before (or I forgot I knew).

I'm sure someone will like this book, but it just wasn't me.

Easy read, touching. Nothing too earth-shattering.

A wonderful tribute to a lifelong friendship between one of the most famous coaches of all time (Red Auerbach) and basketball legend named Bill Russell.

I picked this up just to learn more about my Celtics. Great book about friendship and the art of really listening to the needs of others. Love the little tidbits and learned how great Red really was as a coach and as man.

I learned a lot from this book, not only about the friendship between Red and Bill, but friendship in general.
