This book was an inspiring story of a man who had many things to overcome and based on his personal drive achieved even more than he thought he could... This book is full of life lessons that kids can take a lot out of... Book gave more detail than the movie and was a quick read... Loved it!!!!

Like other reviewers have said, this book tells a great story of a guy who grew up poor, had all the cards stacked agaisnt him and used the doubt people had about him to feed his thirst for success. By comparison, the basic plot of this story reminds me A LOT of "Million Dollar Baby," except Papale doesn't have one person doubting his ability, he has the whole world doubting his dreams of playing football.
I thought the book was well written and would be enjoyable for probably any football fan, since the majority of the story does not revolve around Papale playing for the Eagles, but rather tells his whole story from childhood when he played sandlot pickup games to playing organized games later in life.
Finally, A Book with a Happy Ending August 21, 2006

By now everybody knows the story of Vince Papale. This is a fast moving paperbook story about a man who keeps trying to win approval from his father and never gives up on his dream of playing professional football. It is a quick and enjoyable read. Perfect book for the beach or riding the train. Straight forward, not a lot characters and worthless details -- this book doesn't ramble on. Despite an event that happened 30 years ago, this story never gets old. A poor guy from a blue collar city that captures the heart. I read the book in one weekend. If you are a sports minded individual and you are tired of reading about steroids and self serving biographies, then I highly recommend reading Invincible!!!
