Product Description
TAYLOR is a high octane ride through the life of the boldest, baddest linebackers to ever play the game. Featuring never before seen photographs TAYLOR includes a full length highlight DVD of LT's greatest hits, candid insights, and most telling interviews with teammates and competitors. Leader of the New York Giants' "Big Blue Wrecking Crew" Lawrence Taylor is widely acknowledged as the most feared defenseman to ever play professional football. Unleashed on the NFL in 1981, his instincts, skills, smarts, and fury changed the way players, coaches and fans viewed football. The personification of "shock and awe," LT was equally adept at sacking quarterbacks, intercepting passes, and forcing fumbles- he created on-field chaos. TAYLOR, who often played despite pain (torn shoulder ligaments, a detached pectoral muscle, or a broken bone in his foot) was better known for inflicting it with his punishing tackles. In a game that had become highly regimented, Taylor took football back for the individual player and showed how a savvy adrenaline-fueled defenseman could be a titanic star.

Beautiful photos and a focus on football, LT-style December 15, 2006

Great stuff! TAYLOR really puts you in the shoes of the greatest defensive player ever to step onto the field.
It's a different kind of LT book. First of all, it's a big, coffee-table edition with all the gorgeous color photos; shots I've never seen before. Second, this book mostly stays away from LT's off-field troubles. I'm a big LT fan and have read the other autobiographies he's done with other people, but the focus here is on the football. You get lots of action sequences that really put you on the field with LT. It's a "cleaner" version of his career, without any bad language, even. Maybe that's a little weird, given that it's LT, but then you can share this book with your kid.
The thing is, it's a great read. I liked it better than his other books -- it feels like you really get LT's voice. The story's exciting, funny and sticks to the point. Informative, too. He explains a lot about the way he played linebacker, how Parcells turned him loose and how that changed the way the game is played.
I think it's a must-get gift for any LT or Giants fan. But LT's such a character, the story's so good and the football stuff is so real, I think anybody would like it. (Even a Redskins fan.)
