Grab Instantly Hookers, Flankers And Locks Authored By Jean Roller File Format Copy

as someone who loves rugby I had to read this book once I heard about it and I did,
It's only available online and it seems to be kind of semiautobiographical, Parts of it rung very true, especially the characters struggling to deal with changes in their sexual identities, disapproving parents, interteam romance, and recruiting new players.
However, I kind of wished there had been more rugby action to complement the vivid depictions of the social aspects of the game, Also parts of it seemed to really be about Yale, which is cool, and all, but there wasn't enough exploration of that angle or explanation of the Yale traditions which to be fair might have been because half of the Hookers, Flankers and Locks's prose had to explain rugby to an American audience.


However, I was very proud of the moment where Smith Rugby's cheer proceeded to disturb the Yale parents because that, folks, would in fact happen in real life.

Roller gives an interesting perspective into the Ivy League experience, The book follows several women for what seems like a very short period of time a whole semester or part of semester as they experience college life, bond with one another, explore their sexuality/romantic relationships, play rugby for Yale, and prepare for the "real world".
The author weaves songs some very bawdy, some traditional through her dialogue that helps set the tone for each scene, It seemed like an original device to me,

All in all, the book was intriguing, The story is easy to relate to for anyone who has been through "the college experience", but probably more so for someone involved with a collegiate sport and maybe even more so for Ivy Leaguers.
Even though that does not describe me, I still enjoyed the story,

For someone not familiar with Rugby, it might be helpful to know that there is an appendix at the back of the ebook that is very helpful.


I would warn that the book uses some very colorful and explicit language, When Doc joined the Yale womens rugby team, she expected a rugged time on the field, But nothing prepared her for what happened off the field, especially when Eva fell in love with a gorgeous teammate, rankling her hostile Southern Baptist family.
