My Review:
As a huge fan of the NFL, I was eager to dive into this book, and it doesn't disappoint! The format is very appealing to both the NFL fan and the trivia buff. You have selected key areas of Lions football separated into convenient chapters. There is a pre trivia section that lets the reader know more about the focus of the chapter. That is followed by the great multiple choice trivia questions. After that comes an informative answer section and that is followed by a last section with more info about that subject.
You can easily look for a fave if you want to by looking at the chapters. You could choose the Barry Sanders or the Megatron section if that is your thing.
This book will be a must read for all the Lions Pride fan base that exists around the globe. Fans of sports trivia will really enjoy this book. The fan of the NFL might get a kick out of learning more about the Detroit Lions. Definitely a great gift for the Lions fan in your life!
