  YOU CAN'T PUT IT DOWN July 4, 2004 6 out of 10 found this review helpful
The reviews will tell you how insightful this book is, and how much it has to say about the way we live now. All of that is very true. But what distinguishes this book is how damned entertaining it is. Foer's chapters---each takes place in a different part of the world, and uses soccer to address a different aspect of globilzation---are suspensful, and often hilarious. The is the perfect book for a long plane flight, or a rainy afternoon, or a day on the beach. I loved it.
