WHEN PRIDE STILL MATTERED A Life of Vince Lombardi

Few of even the most influential world shakers get the lengthy treatment from biographers that Pulitzer laureate David Maraniss gives Vince Lombardi in this lively bestseller. The audio version is 28 hours long! Does the legendary football coach deserve such attention? Narrator Davidson apparently thinks so. At the very top of Side One, he launches his reading at a high energy level, which he maintains--to this reviewer's amazement--throughout. His delivery, befitting the material, is manly, authoritative, and totally enjoyable. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 02/ JAN 03]
