Summary: The truth about LT
Review: This book is about a hall of fame football player who drugs at one point took over his life.Lt started using cocaine as a social thing, but then it got to a point that it became a daily thing. The NFL started doing random drug test's Lt would tell people to urine in a cup for him so he can cheat the drug test it wouldn't show that he used drugs. Then Lt got two strikes for failing two drug test's after he heard that if he failed another drug test he would be banned from the NFL. So Lt got serious by going to rehab and cleaning himself up. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to find out the real truth about Lawrence Taylor. Also because it's a good book to read, and its very interesting. Also to anybody who likes football. And also I would recommend it because it shows you the affects that drugs have on someone's behavior. And it gives you the real facts about Lt's drug habit.

Summary: Must Read
Review: "Tell all" sports books rarely do so, but this effort is an exception. Taylor and Serby carefully and artfully tell the story of just what made Taylor the player he was, and wasn't. You wonder if Taylor's destructive behavior was what made him so great. Or could he have been even better? A good read.

Summary: One Crazy SOB!
Review: A sports odyssey of drugs, alcohol, women, and football!! If his reporting is accurate, then it's a wonder LT was able to get to the football field most Sundays, much less be the most dominant linebacker of his time. Most of the book has LT's associates writing a particular story about LT, then he comments on the person, the story or both! This style doesn't work well! It seems like LT's strong suit is not insight or judgment! I did find myself laughing out loud at some of his stories. The handcuffs still on while he's at a team meeting is one of my all-time faves!

Summary: A must read for LT fans.
Review: As a long standing Giant fan perhaps I?m biased as Taylor was the greatest player I ever got to watch in person. The behind the scenes look at how he prepared (or didn?t) for games and his reckless lifestyle just adds more to how good this guy actually was and even scarier as to how much better he might have been. A must read for people that watched Taylor play as you will understand him much better. The book was a very quick and easy read and didn?t provide much of a historical or statistical look into LT but it was much better than I expected and many times I caught myself laughing out loud at some of the things this guy pulled.

Summary: LT: Over the Edge:Tackling Quaterbacks, Drugs and a World Be
Review: Finally the truth & candor about a professional athlete. The only way to capture what really goes on is to speak the truth. Even at the expense of hurting some peoples feelings. Serby did a great job in teaming up with LT & deserves the accolades. I will be reading his work from now on!

Summary: An ounce of arrogance for a pound of humility. Not too bad!
Review: I think you have to just look at the title, and realize right away that sometimes, you get what you pay for. In this book, you expect a lot of the arrogance that made him LT, #56 of The New York Giants. What I didn't expect was to find him so brutally honest in his battles with drugs.
Here you do indeed find a broken man, yet he picks himself back up and is able to walk out on his own 2 feet. He even makes this statement quite a few times in this book, "My name is Lawrence Taylor, and I'm an addict." That wouldn't be easy for a lot of people. A lot of people can pass this off as a book for some easy money. Whoop-tee-doo! Hey, looks like it worked!
I enjoyed the memories of all the football action that is shared in this book. But at the same time, some of the crap that is mentioned really doesn't need to be in a book just to make it interesting. When it all comes down to it, it is indeed one man's life. That man is Lawrence Taylor, and he's proud of who he is!
