The Rivalry: Mystery at the Army-Navy Game (The Sports Beat, 5): Mystery at the Army-Navy Game Audiobook

" It's a kids book, but was a fast read with famous names and a plot that was not obvious. "

" Fun for young readers who could identify with he protagonists, not matter how implausible their presenting scenario. The extensive name dropping became quite annoying. How many "famous" people could possibly appear in any one book!?! "

" Wanted this to be like the other YA mysteries be Feinstein. I couldn't even get into this one. Too much football and too many details. Feels like he pulled from his nonfiction book and pushed out a quick book. Read 1/2 book, maybe it picked up. Only boys will read this. "

" A solid entry in the series, although I was a little disappointed at the ho-hum nature of the mystery itself. Our heroes, Steve and Susan Carol, didn't do a whole lot of digging or sleuthing to figure it out. They just kind of put two and two together in a flash of inspiration, which is clever, but not as much fun to read about as doing actual investigating. The story is mostly all about the lead up to the Army-Navy college football game, and we get a lot of background on the history and tradition of it; I found that intriguing because I know nothing about that topic. And there's plenty of football action thanks to the flashbacks to the Army and Navy teams' two last games leading up to the big one. Stevie and Susan Carol get to shadow a Secret Service agent as part of their research for a newspaper story on the security aspect of protecting the President at the big game, and that too was interesting. But the romance is pretty much done now, because the two teens are dating long distance, and I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more to that angle of the story. (What can I say, I'm a romantic!) "

" Well, I think it's safe to say that the series has run its course. If the plot of the previous installment was thin, the plot of this one was nonexistent. It felt like Feinstein had a lot of material left over from his nonfiction account of the Army/Navy rivalry (which was excellent) and was looking for an excuse to revisit it. My recommendation is to read that one instead. "

" Feinstein is more interested in showing what he knows about Army and Navy than writing a compelling story. The book kind of fizzle out at the end. "

" This book is pretty good. good enough to convince me to get the rest of them. "

" This is such a great book for kids who enjoy sports writing. I love that there are real peolpe in the book like President Obama, Bon Woodward, David Robinson, Babby Knight, etc. "

" Unlike Mike Lupica John Feistein stayed true to his true nature of writing sports stories and guess how it turned out..... great!!! "

" This book was pretty good because it explained how the media world works for sports but it wasn't very good because it didn't have a lot of action and I could easily predict what happened next. "

" THIS BOOK IS GOOD FOR SPORTS LOVERS, Make sure you read the whole series before this book "

" I was a decent book! Kinda intresting! Ok detail! At the good parts it kept me wondering! "

" Overall the book was well done. It was great learning about the Army Navy game from a diffenerent view point. Having the main characters be about my age really helped me relate to what was going through their minds. "

" Average at best. Gave it 2 stars out of respect to Army & Navy. "

" i wanted to like this, i really did. i'm a huge fan of the army navy game and sports in general. but this book didn't really do it for me. it seemed too far fetched to me that the kids would understand such technical aspects of football gambling. "

" The book was written for young people; it was loaned to me by one of my ten year old grandsons since it is about a mystery associated with a Army-Navy Game. "

" Great for sports fans! "

" I really liked this book. it had my favorite sprt, football. it has mystery in it, and it kept me reading. And not many books keep me reading. "

" It was a great book with a great ending! "

" I am about halfway through the book. It is very good and well written but it is confusing when they go back in time a few days but they don't tell you. "
