Summary: This is what's wrong with the NFL
Review: Drew Rosenhaus may believe he is the top agent in the game, but his client list isn't very impressive in my opinion. Randall Hill? Marvin Jones? Eric Green? Sounds like an all-underachiever team. Although The Shark attempts to potray himself as a suave playa who can talk street to his clients, he comes across like a punk Vanilla Ice wannabe. Let's hope all agents aren't trash like this.

Summary: If you want to know why sports is what it is, read this book
Review: I am involved professionally with the NFL and I know Drew Rosenhaus, who claims to be the model for the bad agent in "Jerry Maguire.'' He's not. The model works for an outfit very much like IMG, known in the business as "I Am Greedy.'' Yes, Rosenhaus is a shark, who cares little for his clients. But what does it say for the publishing industry that it would publsih this kind of self-serving drivel? And what does it say to people who buy it? (I got my copy for free).

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: I could not belive how someone could be this self involved... I am a negotiator and was hoping for good negotiating advice but got something much different. I am sure that half of this book was untrue, however I have to give credit were credit is due, he did make it to the top. I just hope that after the realease of this book he is able to stay there, "now that would be impressive"...

Summary: Absolutely Pathetic
Review: I got this book hoping to read about life on the business side of the NFL. Instead, I got a couple of hundred pages about how great Drew Rosenhaus is. This book is the most repulsive I have ever read. The biggest themes in the book are Drew's good looks, incredible intelligence, unbelieveable drive, and his insatiable greed. The guy put a MODELING PICTURE of his girlfriend in the pictures section! Give us a break Drew! We're not impressed! Otherwise, a great story about a shallow man chasing empty ideals. Do not waste a second on this book!

Summary: I enjoyed this book.
Review: I want to be a sports agent when I grow up and that is why I read this book. I found it very interesting. It is poorly written and Drew does talk highly of himself quite a bit , but I still enjoyed it because that is my dream proffession.

Summary: Rosenhaus is the TERMINATOR
Review: In the high stakes world of sports agency, Drew Rosenhaus is the Terminator! His detractors may hate him but Drew just keeps talking the talk and walking the walk-all the way to the bank! I loved "A Shark Never Sleeps." I will honestly say he is my role model for my future career which is the career of sports agent. Keep eating the competition, Drew!

Summary: Wow! He's Some Kinda Symptom . . . Er, Guy!
Review: October 6, 2002 Hoping for a peek into the arena of sports agency, I
picked this up one lazy afternoon. Wow! I suppose if
you're the right sort of person with the right sense of
humor, you could have a lot of fun wallowing inside this
fellow Drew Rosenhaus's own fascinated vision of himself
and his life--replete with numerous descriptions of how
crafty and tough he is, as well as an insert bikini photo
of his model girlfriend (with whom he's formed a deep,
lasting pair-bond, I'm sure). However, it's more likely you might be left gaping at a
printed ego that approaches the sociopathic, pondering
about what publisher and editor were possibly thinking,
and wondering how many Drew Rosenhauses are out
there, tolerated, even rewarded, in this, the tackiest,
but best dressed, of all possible worlds. Tolerated and rewarded not just in professional sports,
which would be bad enough, but in civil law, corporate
finance, government . . .

Summary: A Good Reason Why Book Burning Should Return
Review: Should be entitled, "Way Too Many Pages About Why I love myself." Rosenhaus is an egomaniac who revels in his self-absorption. This book has no redeeming value, except as a substitute for Syrup of Ipicac. While Rosenhaus gloats about the athletes he has somehow convinced to hire him, he makes no mention of the careers he has ruined, such as that of Errict Rhett, a top NFL running back who Rosenhaus advised sit out an NFL season rather than honor the binding contract Rhett had with an NFL team. As a result, Rhett lost a year of pay, was demoted to second team the following year when he returned, was traded to another team, where he is presently collecting splinters in his rear. This type of ignorant greed is nowhere to be found in this worthless, self-lovefest of a book.
