    Informative, well written and hard to put down!

    What a great read by Klein and Wharton! As a fan I was fascinated by the 'behind the scenes' events that took place during these four seasons. The mix of profiles and thoughts on key players and coaches and the affect they had on the program made this book a real page turner. Whether an SC fan or not this was a very interesting read.

    A Mandatory Book for any USC Football Fan

    This is a must read for any USC football fan. Klein and Wharton's writing syle is clear and easy to understand. The information is in depth and gives a glimpse into the USC football program that the public usually doesn't see. I plan to purchase copies for my friends for Christmas. Can't wait until 'Three Pete' second verson to come out next fall!

    Great Addition to Any Trojan Fan Library!

    If you are a fan of the USC Trojans or just a college football fan in general this book is for you! Klein's writing style is excellent, a good read!

    Even UCLA fans will like this book.

    You have to read this book, whether you are a Trojan fan or even a UCLA fan like me. Interesting, full of information about the USC football program that most of us never knew. I picked the book up out of curiosity, and put it down almost 3 hours later...finished it up the next day. This book captures what 'really happens' in a sports program as a team challenges, and wins, a National Title...and then another one. As a UCLA Bruin Fan, I hate to admit it, but this was a great book and I would recommend it to any fan of college football, regardless of who you root for and what colors you wear every Saturday during the College Football season.

    'Hey Klein, Nice work!' said former 'Mrs C' : )

    Super job of highlighting the Trojans rise to the top. My son-in-law will love the 'inside look' you have provided. As long time fan of college football, the Trojans deserve to be at the top. Thanks for the peek 'inside'.
