Probably the most memorable part of this book is the emotions that Emmitt was feeling during critical plays and games during his career. Anyone reading this can feel as if he were a part of the action. The book is an easy read however it does not distinguish itself as compared to other sports biographies.

Emmitt Smith has gone through many ups and downs in his career. Some of include three Super Bowl titles and a rushing record. Some of the downs include living in the projects and having a semi-rough childhood. Emmitt grew up in Pensacola, Florida. He lived in the projects for a few years. Emmitt had a very large immediate family; all of them were very close and helped Emmitt through a lot. Emmitt attended the University of Florida for college, where he broke numerous rushing records. Emmitt was the Dallas Cowboys' first round Draft pick in 1990. In the NFL Emmitt Smith is one of the premier players.
This autobiography gives a great insight to life. Emmitt Smith really did a great job writing this novel. This book gives you a good look at the NFL - from the top. I recommended this book to anyone who wants to read a warming story about someone who worked hard to get where he is today.

As a Cowboys fan for over 20 years, I really loved this book. It's a great portrait of a great running back and a role model we should all emulate. My only criticism is that it was written a bit early in his career - the book doesn't cover a great deal of events that readers are sure to want to hear about, such as Super Bowl XXX, Michael Irvin's retirement, Troy Aikman's retirement, the rushing title, etc. But, I still recommend the book highly for Cowboy fans who want to smile and remember the early 1990s, when Dallas established itself as one of the most dominant football teams ever.

If you are into sports books then The Emmitt Zone is a great sports book to read. It is probably one of the greatest sports books i have ever read. In this book Emmitt talks about football being a contact sport and discribes the sport of football. He tells you some records about some players that play in the NFL. He also tells you about his College Football and National Football career and records. Then finally Emmitt talks about his life style when he was grewing up from a little boy to a Football Star.

The entire book is intersting. I loved the book! I could not put it down. It details his life from birth till when the book was written. A must read for all Emmitt and football fans!

What an excellent book! from start to finish, this is great for every one, a look into the life, and career of the greatest running back the game has ever seen! this book (like emmitt himself) is classy, respectful, and he's overall, and so is this book a Great role model! You must buy it!

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK BY EMMITT SMITH FORMER DALLAS COWBOY. THIS WAS WRITTEN BY EMMITT VERY EARLY IN HIS CAREER. ALONG THE WAY HE TELLS US OF HIS BOYHOOD IN FLORIDA AND FROM THERE TO HIS COLLEGE CAREER AT FLORIDA. EMMITT DOES A GOOD JOB TELLING HIS STORY AND IT REALLY GETS INTERESTING WHEN HE GETS TO HIS TIME WITH THE COWBOYS. FROM THERE, EMMITT WOULD BECOME THE ALL TIME LEADING RUSHER IN NFL HISTORY ALONG WITH INDUCTION TO THE HALL OF FAME AND TO WIN 3 SUPER BOWLS. JUST AN AMAZING CAREER. JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, HE ALSO WAS THE WINNER ON THAT NAUSIATING SHOW DANCING WITH THE STARS. I RECOMMEND THIS FOR ALL FOOTBALL FANS.

excellent book. very open and honest. inspiring, but boring in parts
