Book Overview
For years, many of Sports Illustrated 's 21 million readers turned first to the magazine's last page, because that's where they find SI's most popular feature: the Life of Reilly column, written by best-selling author Rick Reilly. A 22-year veteran of Sports Illustrated and a 10-time National Sportswriter of the Year, Reilly took over SI's back page in 1998, and his column immediately attracted a devoted following, including the legions of fans who helped make his first collection, The Life of Reilly , a New York Times best seller in 2000. Now comes Hate Mail from Cheerleaders , 100 of Reilly's favorites, along with a new foreword and column postscripts by the author. Alternately sidesplitting and heartwarming but always opinionated and provocative, these pieces are the best work by the best columnist in the business.

An Enjoyable Book, Full of Great Stories (Funny and Sad...)
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A co-worker recommended this book and I'm glad I ordered it. Each story is typically about 3 pages long. Some nights I'd read a couple stories, other nights many more. Reilly is very witty and I found myself chuckling during several of the stories. I'd highly recommend the book and will probably order another of his now; if I like that one too I'll keep buying!
A must have for Rick Reilly fans!

It's great! A mix of his funniest and most touching articles. He's also written a little updated post script at the end of each one with a little more insight or info... Love it!
Excellent Book for anyone who likes a good story

Rick Reilly has a gift of striking at the heart strings of his readers. At the same time he can be extremely funny and that is what makes this such a good book. He includes many different stories which makes it an easy read. I highly recommend this book to all.
An excellent book, even for non-sports fans!

I'm only about a third of the way through this collection of columns by Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly, and already I feel like I've gotten my money's worth. Reilly is a great writer, with a great ability to take any sport or sport story and weave it into a true human interest piece. Even if you don't like sports, these quirky, funny, and inspirational stories will keep anyone's interest. Be sure to give this a look, as well as Reilly's other books.
Great Read!
