After the first chapter I was ready to give up on this book, it was just that tasteless. Then it got into LTs childhood and upbringing up until the '86 Super Bowl and it was entertaining at best and reviling at worst. Most athletes write a book after a big win to inspire and share their story, I'm not sure about his motivations.

Amazing autobiography that goes into depth of the great Lawrence Taylor's drug and marriage difficulties. The book was not wriiten as your ordinary novel however.
