| (San Francisco, CA United States) May 4, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| Bissinger's book isn't as inspiring as FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, but he's a
careful stylist, and the depth of his take on manager Tony LaRussa may
never be equalled. Tony's fights and reconciliations with his wife,
Elaine, over... read full review |

| 2. | Excellent book |
| (Jefferson City, MO) May 11, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| It's hard to believe the Tony LaRussa in 3 Nights in August is the same
expressionless man I see in the dugout every Cardinals game.
I'm a huge baseball fan and a coach, and I recommend this book to every
ball player before... read full review |

| 5. | Another Winner by Buzz |
| (Detroit, MI) April 1, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| This is another wonderful book by Buzz Bissinger. It is not only

| 7. | Great in depth look |
| (Little Rock AR) March 29, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| This book gives a good look into the strategy that TLR uses in his
management style. If I wasn't a Cardinals fan I probably wouldn't have
enjoyed this book as well. I will likely re-read this book. |

| 9. | A great baseball book AND not just for Cardinal fans !! |
| (Brooklyn, NY) July 17, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| I strongly disagree with another persons review of this book. This book is
not at all about a Moneyball vs. Old School Baseball Mentality. Yes the
author does state that he does disagree with a statistics only mentality... read full review |

great game. Buzz Bissinger follows Tony LaRussa around and chronicles a 3
