I teach Blindside to my seniors and it has been a tremendously popular and eye-opening book for those that chose to read it (we do independent reading). I highly recommend it. In fact, the biggest complaint about the book I've heard from jocks and non-jocks alike is he delves a bit too much into stats and football, they just love Michael's personal story so much more (even the kids that picked it because it sounded like it was about football).
