Summary: Salute to a genuine folk hero
Review: Brett Favre is more than just a stellar quarterback in the NFL. He is a genuine folk hero, who embodies the grit, tenacity, hard-won skill, and overwhelming success of the American dream. This entertaining and often poignant look at Favre's life provides insights into what makes this football all-star tick, on and off the field. It also provides some great life keys for success in any endeavor. Hope, hard work, good humor, determination, and resiliancy are great skills to cultivate, and Brett Favre is the embodiment of all of it. Favre is humble but confident, and that tone comes through in his down-to-earth and inspiring story. He's not too proud to reveal his weaknesses, challenges, and stumbles; these issues, rather than diminishing Brett Favre only enhance the sense of appreciation and respect for what he has overcome. If for no other reason, buy this book for Favre's stories about his Dad, which are loving, humorous, and ultimately quite moving.

Summary: An American Original
Review: Brett Favre, he's one of a kind. At the very least, you could say they don't make them like Favre anymore. This guy is a throwback. A tough, honest, aw-shucks-humble, determined, fighting, loyal, straight-shooting son-of-a-gun. He's Terry Bradshaw without all the ham. He's Snake Stabler, but a little more stable. He's Johnny Unitas, Bobby Layne, Slingin Sammy Baugh, Billy Kilmer, and, heck, Bronko Nagurski and Dick Butkus, too. Maybe he's got a touch of Mark Twain, William Faulkner, Jerry Clower, and Garrison Keillor in him, too, judging from the way he writes. This is a heckuva story. When you get through with this book, you'll wish you could have known Big Irv, Brett's Dad. There's a lot of guts and heart and blood and sweat and tears in this book, and some laughter, too. Most of all, this is just a dadgum great, genuine, real, heartfelt book. If you love football, get this book. If you love great stories, get this book. If you love your Daddy, get this book. I'm going to be giving a few of these away this year at Christmastime.

Summary: Brett Farve the Criminal
Review: Brett tells the story of his days with Chewbacca, the tight end who dated high schoolers. The shocking part of the book is when Brett admits to killing his "best friend" from the Packers glory days: Reggie White. Finally we have found the real killer, Brett Farve. You will be brought to justice. You will be brought to justice!!! Also, Brett tells about his favorite Packer role models: the Accused Rapist James Lofton, the "poop in the laundry basket of x-girlfriend" Najeh Davenport, the "Slam on the brakes and send girlfriend throught windshield of Lincoln Navigator" Antonio Freeman, and his personal favorite, "receive NFL man of the year award on the eve of the Superbowl and get caught with a prostitute when you are married "Eugene Robinson". The Packers are America's Team.

Summary: A Legend
Review: Excellent book written by a sports legend. Favre's courage, will and ability is an inspiration to us all. I'm sure all his fans will appreciate the ability to learn more about the real man from this book. I definitely recommend that everyone buy this book. I've only read another book recently that I would recommend as well and it's The System by Roy Valentine. Both books shows the value of true skill.

Summary: Fab Favre
Review: If you are a Packer/Brett Favre/Football fan, this is a must read/have. It will make even the toughest "manly man" ball like a baby. It has great, personal pictures of Brett and his family, and shows his one-of-a-kind relationship with his team, coaches and his adopted home Green Bay, Wisconsin. It is written in Brett's own down-to-earth style. He is the modern Green Bay Packers, and arguably, the greatest Packer and one of the greatest football players of all time. There will never be another number 4. Thank you! Brett

Summary: For Packer FANS!
Review: This book is awesome!
If you are a Brett Favre fan, this book is THE book that you will want to open when your Grand kids ask you about Brett Favre ,and what he was all about, as a football player, and as a person.
With countless, beautiful, full color photos of Brett, and his family, this is a book that any Favre, or Packers fan wont want to be without.
Some books lose their importance over time. This one should be put in a Green Bay Packers time capsule, and opened up a hundred years from now.....it will still be a relevant look at Brett Favre and the way that his football talent, and his love for the game changed the Packers organization forever!
This book, by itself is awesome. Add to that, the fact that you also get an awesome Brett Favre DVD and this is as good as it gets when it comes to Brett Favre.
Looking for that perfect gift for a Brett Favre fan? This is it.
Better yet, if you visit the shop at Brett's official website, you can get a copy of this book (DVD included) personally Autographed by Brett and his Mom, Bonita.
For the autographed book, visit www.officialbrettfavre.com
Or, if that is just a little beyond your bank account's grasp, simply order the unsigned copy here, at amazon.com
This is THE Brett Favre book!
It is a "Favre-olous!" book that any fan of Brett or the Packers will treasure!

Summary: Fun book to read! Some chapters written by his family.
Review: This is different than your average sports book because some of the chapters are written by Brett's mom and wife and by Brett himself. Since his mom co-authored the book, she included adorable baby photos of Brett and family photos of his wife and kids. Brett's wife writes about the Favre family charity fund which helps disabled and less fortunate kids in both WI and MS. His mom writes about the Favre family obsession with football (Brett's dad is a coach) and how she spent her life going to EVERY one of Brett's games, missing only one when she couldn't get a flight. I think Wisconsin Packer fans will relate to the simple smalltown life in the bayous of Mississippi that the Favre family writes about.

Summary: For the love of the GAME!
Review: Where, in this day and age, can you find someone who can transform his (Farves) and his family life and it's up's and down's into something simplistic, but as original as he is! He portrays character of one's self and non selfishness. He characterizes his life as he plays the game and handles lifes issues. For The Love of the Game. Not only football, but the game of life!

This is not War and Peace, but a great book to read for it's genuine honesty and a look into one's self.
