= = // The Gm //, Tom Callahan review by Keenan C

The book The Gm is about the general manager (Gm) of the New York Giants football team. The main characters in this story are Ernie Accrosi, the GM, Tom Coughlin, the head coach, the New York Giants players, the main players being Eli Manning, Jeremy Shockey, Tiki Barber, Plaxico Buress, and Jay Feely. The main conflict in the story is that it is Erni Accrosi's last year before retirement, meaning Ernie wants to make sure they have a good year and that the organization will be successful in years to come. Throughout the year both the Giants All-Pro defensives ends, All-Pro linebacker, two starting corners, left tackle, and the star receiver of the franchise all suffer injuries. The head coach, Tom Coughlin is at risk of losing his job if they don't do well, and the next person to be fired after Tom Coughlin is starting quarterback, Eli Manning. The New York Giants need to have a successful season.

I would recommend this book under one condition, you have to love the game of football and have an interest in the players and franchises of the NFL because it is very interesting if you know the players and teams the book is talking about. Also it explains a lot of jobs within the organizations in the NFL that most people don't really think about. The book also helps people see how the players in the NFL view certain situations.
