Book Review: Giant
Summary: 4 Stars
Giant is an autobiography written by Plaxico Burress. This book is very interesting and takes the reader on a roller coaster ride through Burress's life. Plaxico let his readers feel the emotions he went through as a young kid when his mother passed away. This was the best part of the book because it makes the reader feel as if they are attending the funeral. Another great part of the book was just the insight to how football players live. Burress got a bad reputation playing college football because of all of the partying he did while he was supposed to be focused on getting into the NFL. Then the book takes a twist and shows the reader how Burress got focused on being one of the best receivers in the NFL. In high school and college, Burress could simply outrun defensive backs and catch the football. In this book, Plaxico shows the reader how much tougher the NFL really is. Receivers are not simply going to outrun defenses in the NFL. Burress shows how he adjusted and studied to become a smarter football player to be suited for the NFL. Burress also talks about the New York Giants incredible playoff run to make it to the Superbowl. I felt as if I was in the New York Giant's huddle during the Superbowl. The book gives incredible insight to how tough and stressful the week before the Superbowl is and how incredible the game feels. Giants will have you on the edge of your seat during the whole book, cheering for the New York Giants to beat the goliath New England Patriots. This book is a very descriptive view of what a pro football player's life is like. I would recommend this book to any real football fan or anyone who is looking for an enjoyable read.
