While there is no shortage of books available on the New England Patriots dynasty, Seth Wickersham's new work may be the best yet... So good that even casual NFL fans will want to check [it] out.... Of the many books written on [Brady and Belichick], it seems that Wickersham delivers the deepest and most insightful portrait of either of them within these pages... Engaging and artfully written, drawing the reader into the events [Wickersham] describes, making them feel as if they are witnessing these meetings and games themselves.... One of the best books on the NFL to appear in recent years., [A] superlative sports book full of intimate, fly-on-the-wall reporting, savvy insights and deft, page-turning writing. . . . Chapter after chapter, the author takes the reader inside the Patriots' locker and trainers' rooms, into coaches' meetings, into the huddle and onto the line of scrimmage. There's plenty of eavesdropping on the NFL owners' contentious meetings with Commissioner Roger Goodell, too. The result is the best picture I've ever encountered of what the cutthroat, multibillion-dollar world of NFL football is actually like., [A]n honest, sprawling, meticulously reported, and beautifully written portrayal of perhaps the greatest and probably the most unlikely dynasty in modern professional sports . . . [Wickersham] draws richly detailed portraits of Brady, Belichick, the dynasty's third constant in owner Robert Kraft, and how their personalities and relationships changed through the years . . . It's Better to Be Feared is the accounting the Patriots dynasty deserves., A skilled journalist analyzes the success of the NFL's premier team over the last two decades, in both its laudable and unsavory aspects; [it] will be of interest to all sports fans., The book consistently delivers that type of fly-on-the-wall access, taking the reader to seemingly impenetrable places . . . Reporters have breathlessly covered the Patriots over the years, leaving little room for new reveals, but Wickersham advances the ball with anecdotes that unpeel the personalities of the franchise's significant figures., This enthralling behind-the-scenes tale of the New England Patriots is a piece of journalistic excellence . . . Patriots fans will revel in all the little-known backstories, while all football fans and readers seeking astonishing success stories will relish this, too., This enthralling behind-the-scenes tale of the New England Patriots is a piece of journalistic excellence . . . Patriots fans will revel in all the little-known backstories, while all football fans and readers seeking astonishing success stories will relish this, too.--Robert St. John, Booklist A skilled journalist analyzes the success of the NFL's premier team over the last two decades, in both its laudable and unsavory aspects; [it] will be of interest to all sports fans.--John Maxymuk, Library Journal, Wickersham, with thorough reporting and the experience of covering New England's twists and turns, manages a noteworthy feat in It's Better to be Feared--he humanizes Brady, Belichick and the Patriots owner Robert Kraft for outsiders in a way that can be exceedingly difficult . . . Their history is told in parallel with the growth of the N.F.L. itself., [T]he best book written about the Patriots to date. It encompasses the entirety of the Bill Belichick-Tom Brady dynasty: nine AFC championships and six Super Bowl championships. It delves deeply into the histories of Belichick, Brady, Robert Kraft, and several important figures of the dynasty: Julian Edelman, Josh McDaniels, Malcolm Butler, Peyton Manning, Roger Goodell, Eric Mangini, and many more. The good, great, bad, and worse are covered here, but not in a scandalous way, and not in a way that wastes extra time on extraneous stories. The focus of the book, and the fact that Wickersham has been covering the team and league since the dynasty's advent, make it special., [C]ontains an array of juicy details about Brady's turbulent final years in New England . . . While those details -- Belichick's clandestine friendship with Roger Goodell, Brady approaching the 49ers at the start of his free agency -- are scintillating, they are the garnish on top of a well-constructed narrative that spans the arc of 20 years . . . Wickersham's storytelling is gripping., Wickersham's fly-on-the-wall accounts are fascinating, but he's at his best when he explains, carefully and evenhandedly, how the business of football works. . . Exemplary sports journalism that examines the front office and dueling egos as much as the gridiron.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
