Summary: Elway's a winner!
Review: This book lets the reader know what Elway's life was like from childhood to adulthood. It gives glimpses of him as a person as well as a football player. One important theme is that he hates to lose. He states that "one important thing I have noticed about people who are winners is that, to them, losing is always temporary."
I enjoyed reading this book very much. Once I started it, I really did get into it. It was hard to put it down, even though I was supposed to be sleeping.
The book's layout was really nice. Text boxes were set aside for John Elway's words, making me feel like I was truly talking to him. Each page had colorful pictures. This helped me see what he looked like throughout his life. I also enjoyed seeing the different uniforms he wore.
Another reason I liked the book is the humor that Elway uses throughout it. He makes fun of himself and the sthings he sometimes did. I enjoy reading humorous books.
I also enjoy reading about a football player. His early life was interesting to me because it seems to be a lot like mine. Reading about football players is a good way to encourage myself to do well in my sport.
I admire Elway's opinion that family is important. I know that my family means the world to me. During tough times, John Elway could rely on the love of his family. I enjoy knowing that he is a family man.
I think Elway could have done a better job describing his Super Bowl games. He didn't give a good description of the Super Bowl games he won or lost. There is only one text box with Super Bowl statistics.
If someone enjoys reading about sports they would enjoy reading this book. It could help an athlete to understand what it takes to be successful in the sport of football. Anyone who enjoys reading humorous books would enjoy reading this book. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: John Elway was raised to be a winner.
Review: This book tells about John Elway's life from the beginning. He was raised to be a winner, but he also tells us that winning isn't everything. I liked how he showed that everything wasn't always easy and perfect for him. He got in trouble like any other kid. He also tells what it was like to feel the sting of losing in the superbowl. A billboard in Denver read: "How does it feel to embarrass a city?" The book also tells about his family life growing up. He mentions how he is eleven minutes older than his twin sister. All in all, I think this was a wonderful book, especially for those interested in football and the Denver Broncos.
