Leverage | Joshua C. Cohen
1 post | 4 read
A timely book about bullies, their victims, and a high school football team where winning is the only thing that matters This intense sports novel will strike a chord with those who followed the tragic football stories that broke in 2011. In this heart-pounding debut, Joshua C. Cohen conveys the pressures and politics of being a high school athlete in a way that is both insightful and compelling. At Oregrove High, there's an extraordinary price for victory, paid both on and off the football field, and it claims its victims without mercy. When the unthinkable happens, an unlikely friendship is at the heart of an increasingly violent, steroid-infused power struggle. This is a book that will stay with readers long after they turn the last page.

This was a book I feel conflicted about. It was good, but what happened was horrible. It seemed all too real to this reader of true crime. It goes beyond bullying, so be warned. It is a criticism of the clannish nature of high school "stars," the treatment they receive, and the value system of winning being priority number one.
