amazing

Honestly, I found this books quite tiring to read, even though it was well structured and they put football everywhere, there was not much text evidence in the story about why they were incorporating football in biology or zoology, it just didn’t make much sense. As a football fan, I would ask for a bit more oomph, but other than that, it was not a terrible book, with good humour and structure.

This is a very funny non fictional football book about lessons at football school.
Alex and Ben are the only and main characters in the book but Alex is funny and Ben is smart.
It contained fact about coaches, kits and players over the years of football and the changes too.

I would rate this a 5 because it teaches you about football and if someone is new to football they can learn from this book. I would advise people to read this if they are new at football.
