Book Summary of Fried Twinkies, Buckle Bunnies, & Bull Riders: A Year Inside The Professional Bull Riders Tour
In this intimate look at a fascinating subculture, award-winning sports journalist Josh Peter takes readers along on the Professional Bull Riders tour to witness the death-defying confrontation between man and beast that has made bull riding the fastest growing sport in the world.

This book was very insightful to my newest obsession (bull riding) I am the least likely to like, wait, love this sport, and this gave me all the background info I needed to be a bucklebunny in training.
