Book Reviews of Peyton Manning: Primed & Ready
Book Review: Shows the man behind the football mask, great.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been a huge fan of Peyton Manning and wanted to read about him in a mid sized novel. I found exactly what I was looking for in this book, it told me everything I wanted to know from his upbringing and childhood, to his college football career, to NFL analysis of his ability to make it big in the NFL. For any one who wants to learn about the best quarterback in University of Tennessee history I suggest you read this book
Summary of Peyton Manning: Primed & Ready
Get inside the person and personality of the University of Tennessee's most successfull quarterback, Peyton Manning, and his preparations for the NFL.Will Peyton Manning do for the pro football Indianapolis Colts what he did for his collegiate Tennessee Volunteers? Can he adjust to professional-caliber defensive schemes and justify the millions shelled out to sign him? Jimmy Hyams, author of this breathless biography, and apparently Manning's biggest fan, will tell you it's a done deal. According to Hyams, this quarterback is no ordinary Joe: he can throw a few touchdowns, take his mom to church, kiss an armload of babies, and give the less fortunate a helping hand all before most of us have gotten out of bed. Aside from this overt bias toward the subject and the publisher's annoying convention of nonindented paragraphs, Hyams has written a fairly interesting chronicle of the making of a superstar. Hyams is obviously well versed in Manning family lore and has done his homework in preparation for this, his first book. While tracing Manning's rise from high-school prospect to Heisman contender, and finally No. 1 draft pick to the NFL, he draws some intriguing comparisons to that other Manning, Archie, whose own noteworthy accomplishments may eventually be eclipsed by his strong-armed son. After reading Primed and Ready, the younger Manning's legion of fans can all share a conspiratorial high-five. Anyone still on the fence about the young quarterback will rest assured that even if the campus hero isn't someday named Superbowl Most Valuable Player, he's already a saint. --George Laney
