Overview
From the Publisher
I've not been able to find any reviews on this book.
My thoughts
This was not one of my best ever eBay purchases. With a title as vague as The Seattle Seahawks, I wasn't sure what I was getting, but I paid about $12 plus shipping for it, and could have had it for $1.48 plus shipping. Oh well.
And anyway, I'm not entirely sure it was worth $1.48. I'm interested in the history of the Seahawks, and I suspected this might be a children's book but you never know what information you might glean from a book. This book is OK. It's geared towards middle school or younger students but it talks about the history of the club and the players. It's got some nice b/w photos. Don't rush right out to buy it but if you love the Seahawks and find it at a garage sale, pick it up for a buck.
Favorite Passage
Born in Cerritos, California, young Zorn had grown up with a football in his hands. Over summer vacation in high school, Jim had spent many a summer day throwing left-handed spirals at a rickety old baseball backstop. "It was good for my footwork," Zorn told Seattle reporters.
