Every Down, Every Distance : My Journey To The NFL

Rating:
Summary: reads like memoirs
Review: I bought this book on a Saturday night, late. I decided to wait until I came home from work on Sunday to start reading it. I came home at four on Sunday and took it out... I couldn't put it down! I started reading at four and I didn't put it down until my parents forced me to for dinner. If I didn't have homework I know I would have finished it that night. I brought the book to school the next two days... and I finished it. I normally hate to read but this book was great. I loved to learn about his life. How almost everyday when he was a kid he'd end up getting hurt, and he just kept doing it. I almost cried when he talked about his grandma and when he finally made the NFL. It's a must read for any JET or Wayne Chrebet fan. If you love reading about underdogs coming out this is a definite read!

Review: This book was awesome. I recommend it to anyone who wants to read it and those other illiterate people.

Review: Wayne is a little too nice in this book, constantly thanking his friends and family, complimenting other players and coaches.... He isn't negative about anyone, and this is frustrating because you want to hear the dirt about the Jets and you won't get it here. Still a good, quick read. I don't think it would be a good book for non-football fans; he goes through too much detail about catching passes and specific Jets games. (that is, after he's done chronicling the contributions of his high school basketball coach) It's really a very good book, but you do have to sieve through the thank-yous a little bit. Also it's written after the 98 season, so who knows how positive he is now, after the last two years?
