Customer Reviews
Do Not Buy…Waste of Money and Time
This book was extremely underwhelming and the fact that it cost $10 is absurd. Out of 370 pages in this book, there may be only one or two pages combined that give you insight on the Ravens that you wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else. Besides that, the book tells you nothing that any Ravens fans wouldn’t already know.
This book had the potential to be great, if Hensley dove deeper. Instead he just regurgitates the same facts that every Ravens fan already knows. For example, the decision to fire Cam Cameron. Hensley provides no interesting details. As the author, it is his job to do that research, but he clearly was too lazy.
Hensley put no effort into this book. He just recycled a bunch of quotes that have been used in past interviews and the America’s game documentaries. He rarely provides any behind the scenes stories on any of the players and instead just summarizes their careers. If I wanted to read about a player’s statistics, then I would buy a media guide at the Ravens games or read their bios on the team website.
If you are expecting to be getting a behind the scenes look of the Ravens from 1996-2014, then do not waste your money on this book.
