Book Reviews of Comeback Kid
Book Review: Elway's a winner!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
