Matt de la PeñaVolponi looks at March Madness from several angles, and one of the book's strengths is that it never slips into any kind of narrative agenda…Volponi adroitly renders authentic and inspired basketball action, and ultimately the game is what's on display here.

The Final Four refers not only to the last four teams to make it to the semi-finals of the Men's NCAA Basketball Tournamen,t but also to the four star players around whom the book revolves. Malcolm, Michael, Roko, and Crispin all share the same single-minded focus and blind ambition to get drafted as pro basketball stars. Volponi takes us on a journey through every move while simultaneously detailing the events that singled out these players for their life-changing showdown.
