SOCCER, SEX, DRUGS, AND ROCK-N-ROLL

SO, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME I PICKED UP A BOOK THAT I COULDN'T PUT DOWN.

THE WAY IT IS WRITTEN CONSUMES YOU LIKE A LIVE SPORTING EVENT, AND SATISFIES YOU LIKE A MARGARITA ON A HOT SUMMER DAY. I FOUND MYSELF FACE DOWN IN THE BOOK WHEN I WOKE UP BECAUSE I SIMPLY COULD NOT AND DID NOT WANT TO STOP READING.

IT WAS LIKE I WAS A WEIGHT WATCHER RUNAWAY AND THE BOOK WAS A HUGE SLICE OF CHERRYCHEESE CAKE THAT I HAD TO HAVE. 

THE AUTHORS COMBINATION OF SOCCER AND ROCK-N-ROLL IS GENIUS. OK, THERE IS SOME REFERENCE TO SEX, ALCOHOL, Etc., BUT I WON'T GO TOO MUCH INTO THAT.

I DO HAVE TO LEAVE YOU WONDERING SOMEWHAT, DON'T I ?! (LAUGHING)

SOME PARTS OF THE BOOK CONVEY TRUTH, WHILE OTHERS ARE FICTIONAL, BUT THAT MAKES IT ALL THE BETTER.

THE BOOK HAS THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS FOR A MOVIE JUST FOR US. 

CAN YOU IMAGINE AN ADULT SOCCER MOVIE?

I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT.

THE BOOK IS CALLED SOCCERROCK BY KRIS KLASSEN WHO IS AN EX-PRO SOCCER PLAYER AND REFEREE.

YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE INSIGHT FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE GAME AND DIDN'T PULL IT OUT OF HIS ARSE.
