I'm only about halfway through, and already count it among my most favorite books! Bill Simmons takes the reader on the long & convoluted journey that brought the Red Sox to a World Series win in 2004. A collection of his blog posts and ESPN.com articles, Bill truly captures the joy, pain, confusion, disappointment and hope that is experienced by Red Sox fans.

In addition to the actual book content are the footnotes which liter every page. Some a basic and bring the reader up to speed on the pop culture references, they provide history and a tangible connection that really brings the story to life.
