As someone that plays fantasy football, this book was hilarious and pegged our group to the smallest of details. It was like I was reading a book about my group of friends. If you don't like fantasy football, you probably won't get it, but if you play fantasy ball, this book is awesome. The only disappointing part was the ending. I guess the season had to end at some point, but I would have liked to have seen it continue.
