I am proof that you don't have to be a football fan to enjoy this book. The possibility of someone trying to sell the Packers football team is only part of the story. The author also takes the reader behind the scenes to experience how television studios gathered and filmed news stories in the 1970s. When I moved to Wisconsin during the 70s, I quickly learned how passionate the people were about the Green Bay Packers. It was fun to read about locations very familiar to me as the characters chased down their news stories. Thanks to NetGalley and the author for a copy to read and review,

Thanks to NetGalley and Robert Riordan for the digital copy of this book; I am leaving this review voluntarily.

As someone born and raised and currently living in Titletown, I thought this was a fun, trippy read. You have to be patient, though, as the beginning is a little choppy. There are lots of unnecessary names and places mentioned, as if the author is trying to prove that yes, he knows Green Bay well and that he can make up names that fit the area as well.

The story here isn't just the fictional sale of the Green Bay Packers, but rather the TV news business in the early 1970s and how information was gathered and vetted before being put on the air. Told not as smooth narrative, the story jumps from one news story being covered to the next.

Overall, this might interest anyone from Green Bay or those interested in the Packers and a little speculative fiction.
