This book is a fantastic study of British football. It’s very detailed and well-researched. I would have liked a little less detail.

Goldblatt dives deep! The book is incredibly thorough, linking football to broader societal changes. Sometimes gets bogged down in details, making it a bit of a slog.

A solid and scholarly analysis of British football. Explores complex relationships between sport and society. It is quite long and requires patience.

Provides great social context to football. However, it is not the most engaging book. More history than about football.

A really good book, giving a new way to look at football. Can be a bit heavy at times. Worth it if you want to look at football differently.

Found it slow going. A bit dense. It had moments of brilliance, but the writing was a little boring for me, even if the topic sounds interesting.

Offers a look into British football. It is a bit too dense. Not a book to read if you want something light.

A brilliant exploration of British football. It feels like a college textbook, which is what kept me from giving it a perfect rating.
