LT : LIVING ON THE EDGE

Rating:
Summary: A surprising first hand look into Taylor's life
Review: It's to bad this book was written so early on in Taylor's career, because there are many more chapters to his interesting struggle through life. Get an insightful look into Taylor's battle against drugs and how raw talent led him into the league. The league in which he invented a new position, the tomahawk chop and was the first ever to be double-teamed. A surprising read.

Summary: Football Played on the Razor's Edge
Review: This particular memoir is a no holds barred look at life in the NFL. LT writes with reckless abandoned just the way he played the game. It was interesting that LT was not changed by his experience in the NFL. He grew up a very determined young man, stayed that way in college and carried it through to his work in the NFL.
An intriguing portion of the book goes into LT's drug problem. This book was written early on in LT's career. It's too bad but he didn't really seem to take his problem seriously. In fact it appears he never really made progress after this initial treatment. He never really said the drugs were controlling him. I believe he had the problem resurface in years following this books publication. Too bad... so much talent!
Lawrence Taylor's bio is worth the time of any football fan who would like an inside look, into one of the best linebackers of all time.
