“You better believe I read every word of “The King of Halloween and Miss Firecracker Queen: A Daughter’s Tale of Family and Football” — non-stop. It’s pure unvarnished story telling, written as if Lori Leachman never intended for anyone outside her family to read it.”

“this is a true story of one family’s love for a game and for each other, one man’s strength of character, one woman’s love that sustained him.”

online book club: official review
“I am unable to suggest any improvements for this beautifully written and professionally edited memoir. I wholeheartedly rate the book 4 out of 4 stars. Leachman's insights on advocating for medical care may be helpful to various readers. I recommend the book to those who enjoy nostalgic memoirs. It will also appeal to fans of Friday Night Lights, and of course, to fans of the sport.”
