I Dream in Blue is television producer Roger Director's up close and personal chronicle of the 2006-2007 seasons spent with Eli Manning, Plaxico Burress, and the rest of the New York Giants, from the first snap of summer camp to the final touchdown of a tumultuous, heart-stopping journey.

Throughout it all, Director's got only one end in mind: the Super Bowl. He guts it out with Big Blue, refusing to let anything sideline him?not his fumble-prone television career, not even the strain of occasionally having to act like a responsible husband and father. Along the way, he tells the story of this great sports dynasty's origins and traces its rise to become the heartbeat of New York City and, finally, the world-shocking, Patriots-beating king of pro football. Director was there in Phoenix with his Big Blue heroes as they pulled off the greatest upset in Super Bowl history. In this edition, featuring brand-new chapters that take Giants fans along for the ultimate joy ride, Director continues to dream in blue?and this time watches his dream come true.

Director presents a stream-of-consciousness look into the Giants' 2007 season, with an addendum for the 2008 Super Bowl run, and it's fun. for a while. But, the ranting and profanity do get old after a while, and that his two heroes Barber and Shockey are but a memory with the team make this book feel dated before its time. Reading this book is like sitting next to the guy who shouts at the field the whole game - you share his enthusiasm, but by the end of the third quarter, you wish he'd pipe down. Diehard Giants fans will nod along with sympathy and amusement when the author talks about how his obsession with the team permeated his everyday life, and the author inserts plenty of self-deprecating humor about his run-ins with the Maras and the team.

i give this book 5 out of 5 stars. the author really shares a part of him with the rest of us. my favorite story is how he travled 75 miles to see the game at some horriable bar, thats a true fan. this is a great book for any football fan or any sports fan. this story makes me think of the good and the bad growing up a giants fan.

In fact Director has little to teach about football or the Giants, as this book is in-and-of-itself a commentary on America's (and the author's) obsession with individual celebrities. Updated with new material covering the Giants SuperBowl win; however the original 2006/2007 text demonstrates an astounding dearth of understanding or insight into the mechanics of the team's soon-to-be-found success. Tiki Barber is lauded as the ultimate and indispensible heart of the offense, and Shockey is cast as a better-than-Bavaro, passionate renegade who is only limited by the narrow-minded and petty Coach Coughlin. Meanwhile the under-performing Shockey and loud-mouthed Barber are forgotten goats for many Giants fans. A curious book that reveals more about the author's worship of temporal player/idols than his knowledge or understanding of football. Fast forward twelve months, and Coughlin's superstar-less Giants propel themselves to an improbable SuperBowl win.

Director is a pro who followed his quest for connection with the Giants like an amateur who is blindly, madly in love for the first time. Thank you for this great story. His journey is achingly honest. The scene with his father at Mt. Director never allows himself to feel entitled; his hunger for closeness with the team he loves is humbling and beautiful. I have little understanding or affection for football but I loved this book. Sinai is horrifying and poetic.
