Book #21: The Kings of New York


Title: The Kings of New York
Author: Michael Weinreb

Michael Weinreb spends a year following the players on New York's Murrow High School's national championship varsity chess team.

Did you love Friday Night Lights and The Last Shot? How about Head of the Class? The Kings of New York is sort of like Head of the Class meets Friday Night Lights. Weinreb provides the interesting backstories and family histories behind the guys who make their opponents sweat on the other side of the chess board. It was a really fun, enlightening read.
