Paterno shuffled back into his Happy Valley
home a saddened man. That image was one of the last times the public saw
Paterno before he died in January from lung cancer.
However, on Tuesday, that indescribable voice was reborn once again in Posnanski's biography.
Critics and diehard fans such as Kathy
Weidner put copies copy on hold before the book's release. By lunchtime,
Weidner scurried over to Barnes & Noble in Camp Hill, eager to lose
herself in the pages.
"I've been following the scandal," Weidner
said. "I just went through all the newspaper articles that I have - tear
up at times. Sad."
Eighty-five years of Paterno's life are compiled into 360 pages. Posnanski's book was reviewed nationwide. The New York Times called
his work "breezy and largely sympathetic." Other national reviews
touted the way Posnanski chronicled the rise and fall of the football
coaching legend.
