    Get cracking tallaghtoutlaws! :D
    It's a great book. As are all books by Michael Lewis such as Moneyball and Liar's Poker.

    The film will focus on Michael Oher of course but for the book that's only half the story. It shows why the left tackle position became one of the highest paid positions on an NFL team.

    Watch the film and read the book.
    I don't have time to read books, I get ebooks and listen to them on the ipod, works for me

    Yeah just wondering if it'll be released here. Book was great, really enjoyed the in-depth football aspects.
