100 Things Seahawks Fans Should Know \u0026 Do Before They Die (100 Things...Fans Should Know) Reviews
-
A solid, informative read on the Seahawks, John Morgan is always an easy, engaging read, but he also puts in the required time to study the team and its history, making it a good mix.
The book's biggest weakness is that it's very much so set in the time it was written, focusing strongly on the Mike Holmgren era and Superbowl run, and that makes it less engaging for current readers. It has entire chapters (each 100 thing being one chapter) dedicated to peripheral figures who are forgotten in Seahawks history, like Seneca Wallace, Marcus Tubbs, Maurice Morris, Chris Gay and DJ Hackett. In the current resurgence of the Seahawks, with a bunch of players who might well hit the ring of honor, those place-holders are quickly forgotten. Meanwhile, a lot of the chapters on older players are pretty bare, as Morgan is too honest to make things up if he simply doesn't know.
A recommended read for Seahawk fans, but it is not aging well, and that'll likely remain the case. -
Not really impressed. Just a bunch of things that the writer thinks Seahawks fans should know about. Most of them are no-brainers for I already knew about them. But what I really didn't like was how the writer chose to add his opinion on top of facts. Everyone is entitled, but I just didn't care to read them.

Might be a good reference if you're a new Seahawks fan wanting to learn about the team.
Diehard fans will already know about these things, neutral fans won't care, and if you did want to learn about the team there are better ways to do it. -
Love any book written about the Seahawks but at the same point this one was just so so
