A superb biography that will inspire young people
At a time when most sports biographies have titles such as "I Love Being the Enemy" and "Bad As I Want To Be,""Reggie Lewis: Quiet Grace" stands out like a breath of fresh air. It has a positive,inspiring message, especially for young people (and not just basketball fans). Reggie was not overly-talented,but he made the most of the gifts he had."Quiet Grace" is a wonderful account of his life, from his boyhood in Baltimore to his stardom with the Boston Celtics (It also includes an interesting photo album section.) I have given this book as gifts to a number of teenagers, and they have all loved it. (Adults enjoy it, too.)And "Quiet Grace" lays to rest the rumors surrounding Reggie's tragic death. Craig Windham's writing style is conversational, colorful, and concise...just like his news reports on National Public Radio. This is an excellent, fascinating biography. ... Read more
