Doug Smith knows his way around the Toronto Raptors, and it clearly showed in this breezy and engaging read about the team. Lovely afternoon curled up with this great book! Fantastic read.

I just reviewed We the North by Doug Smith. #NetGalley for a free review. I gave it a 3/5. I liked the way the book was portrayed in various subjects with each one of the major contributors to the Raptors getting their own chapters. I did find that you can read it in a way that it might interest you and jump ahead.

A very surface level look into the 25 years of the Toronto Raptors spurred on by the recent championship. Each chapter deals with a specific person or era that was significant to the team. Some are interesting but most of the chapters lack depth or any inside information so there doesn't really seem to be much point to this book. If you are looking for books telling the history of the Toronto Raptors, I'm sure there are more comprehensive options available and the same goes for books chronicling the championship year. Might be of interest for absolute die hard Raptor fans but otherwise I'd not recommend
