3.0

Almost a four star from me, Inman Major's novel is a short, fast-paced and lightly satirical look at the trials and tribulations of college football coaches in this modern era of power hungry boosters and message board zealotry. Major's novel had me chuckling quite bit in the early bits but it just couldn't maintain the comic energy level throughout the book. It is about time someone took the big business world of college football to task and the SEC setting of LOVE'S WINNING PLAYS gives Majors plenty of things to write about.

My library branch (the most excellent Kenton Library) had a "blind date with a book" display and I took this one home mostly because the two hearts on it said "Romance" and "College Football." Intrigued, I tore open the wrapping and dove into a very funny tale of a Graduate Assistant Football Coach at a big football-centric state school in the south. It did indeed provide me with both romance and college football and also enough laughs that I disturbed the boyfriend while he was taking a GRE practice test.
