CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR LEIGH MONTVILLE

TED WILLIAMS

“Exceptional. Montville on Ted Williams is can’t-miss, one of America’s best sportswriters weighing in on one of the last century’s most intriguing figures. A great read.”

— Chicago Tribune

“[Ted Williams is] the complete package—a triumph, unreservedly the best biography of this larger-than-life American.”

— The Boston Globe

“It is unlikely that any reader could view Ted Williams as just a ballplayer ever again.”

— The New York Times Book Review

“Ted Williams is not only a first-rate sports biography, but also a first-rate biography, period.”

— Baltimore Sun

EVEL

“Evel goes beyond the action-figure image, painting Knievel in all his contradictions… Now, in Montville’s capable hands, Knievel soars again in all his profane, self-deluded glory.”

— Sports Illustrated

“In Evel Leigh Montville writes in a florid high style, as if pulling a wheelie across every page. This can be smart, rowdy fun. Mr. Montville tacks the young Knievel to the wall, wonderfully… He catches the way the wingspans of Knievel’s jacket collars were the same as a good-size pterodactyl… Evel is never dull.”

— The New York Times

“In the late 1960s and early 1970s… the coolest man on earth was Evel Knievel… Leigh Montville brings him vividly back in an outlandishly entertaining new biography.”

— New York Post
