### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Brilliant book
  

*by I***H on Reviewed in India on 4 May 2021*

As a fan of football and culture travel, The Miracle of Castel di Sangro is a delightful read for me. The story of a small industrial Italian town has been brilliantly narrated by the author using football as a lense. It's a story of cultures colliding told with perfect balance of humour and tragedy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Entertaining read with a real twist of an ending!
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on 29 May 2024*

During the 1990s, the soccer club of Castel di Sangro aka Castel di Sangro Calcio spent a few years in the Serie B, the second highest professional league in Italy. Considering that Castel di Sangro is a small, isolated village of approximately 5,000 inhabitants in the arid Abruzzo region, this was a major achievement, a miracle if you believe in those things.The book is really the author's journal/diary as he follows the team during their first year in the Serie B. He writes in detail about his living conditions, observations, and interactions with both the townsfolk and the team members, which is really an entertaining page turner. As one reads, one really gets a feel for the culture of central Italy.However, SPOILER ALERT, the book takes a very sinister turn at the end. Just a clue, corruption and match fixing have long been a major issue in Italian soccer.

    Ótimo livro
  
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in Brazil on 18 June 2022*

Impossível não gostar do livro! Leitura fácil, que prende o leitor e mostra o cotidiano de um milagre vivido pelo Castel Di Sangro. As vezes é curioso e até engraçado de ler um americano escrevendo sobre futebol porque, em alguns momentos, ele se vê obrigado a explicar regras básicas do futebol. Além disso, ele se espanta com estádios vazios em jogos de Série B, o que é comum na Itália, no Brasil(de onde escrevo) e qualquer país que respira futebol.Um dos melhores livros que já li!
