You have to admire him... - By: Mr. Mark T. Coleman, 31 Oct 2007
Lawrence Taylor is arguably the greatest linebacker the NFL has ever seen. In this book he writes about his amazing career with the New York Giants & about the incredible things achieved as part of 'The Big Blue Wrecking Crew', including the amazing Giants victory at Super Bowl XXI. However, this book is not just a celebration of a fantastic sporting career but also an account of the ugly side of the man they callled 'LT'. Taylor talks candidly about his drug problem, his many stints in rehab & the long road to recovery. Sure, it makes for uncomfortable reading but some laugh out loud moments help to balance things out. You have to admire the way in which Taylor holds nothing back in recounting some of the less glmourous episodes in what's been a pretty turbulent, but ultimately astonishing career.
The most destructive linebacker...on and off the field! - By: , 22 Jul 2005
This book is a great book for any footballl fan! Lawrence Taylor's 100% honesty makes this book 5star! Many sports auto biographies can be very focused on their sporting achievments in hope that their legend can live on & they can reep the benefits of a fabricated image, this book is very different! Although LTs book makes you shake your head in disbelief sometimes, this book will make any footballl fan laugh outloud numerous times with his stories from the NFL & perspectives of ex-coaches & ex-players! This book defines LTs career as a linebacker but gives an honest & funny-at-times account of his destructive life of cocaine, hookers & slinging muggers out of his car whilst they were robbing him! An excellent story of a great individual!
