Paterno Audiobook

" I loved the book. The writing was beautiful but the story was/is heart wrenching. It was so much more about one man; it was a love story yet a commentary about justice, tragedy, loss, honesty, love, loyalty and at its center: being utterly human. "

" Love, love, loved this book. Made me nostalgic for Penn State and wished I had the opportunity to meet Joe Paterno. I will always will be a proud Penn Stater. "

" Could not read this book yet. Started it, was liking it but it just makes me too sad... "

" My family have the greatest respect and fondness for Joe Paterno. We. have five Penn State University graduates in our immediate family. We are Penn State Proud! "

" A beautifully-written (as is to be expected from Posnanski) biography that does little to dispel the common belief that Paterno likely knew more than he let on about Sandusky and should have been more vigilant in acting. "

" A good look at Joe's life. It wasn't all rosy but rather had a good balance. "

" Audio version is the way to go to get the full effect. "

" An excellent look into a man I've admired and continue to admire "

" I decided not to read the last hundred or so pages of this book which are about the scandal. But the first two-thirds of this book are great: a recounting of the coaching career of a football legend by one of the best sportswriters alive. "

" I was hoping to find out what happened to Paterno and the scandal, but I learned a lot more from the man and his teachings. Paterno is a great coach, teacher and mentor...but he is human after all and he made mistakes... "

" If you are willing to accept that Joe Paterno was something other than a monster who chose to hide the acts of a sick and depraved human being, you should read this book. It is a good account of an interesting life, told by a phenomenal storyteller. "

" Poorly written attempt to whitewash the most horrific scandal in the history of college sports. "

" A very good book. It gave great and in depth insight in to the legend that is Joe Paterno. "

" I really, thoroughly, enjoyed this book. Regardless, of what people think about the Sandusky situation, this tells a great tale about the history of Penn State Football the the Paterno family. I would recommend it to any fan of the game. "

" Engrossing read. Posnanski takes you behind the scenes of one of the biggest scandals in sports, but unlike many in the media who rushed to judgement and convicted Paterno in the public forum, Posnanski steps back, presents the facts and allows the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. "

" Great insight to our coach. Learned some things about JoePa that I didn't know before, and enjoyed learning more about his family and off-time. "

" Good book. It skims over his life personally but mostly as a coach. "

" A great read for any college football fan. "
