5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate tribute that can be given a non-fiction book..., September 5, 2000

By A Customer

...is to say that it is well-written enough that it will hold a reader with no particular interest in the subject matter.

Such is the case with "Instant Replay". The earlier reviewer is right -- this is without a doubt, and by far, the best book on pro football ever written. It is very engaging, informative, and humorous.

(With due respect to Kramer, I suspect that Schaap is probably 90% responsible for the excellence of the book. His writing brings about the result I alluded to in my first sentence).

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book if you are into the green bay packers dynasty, September 16, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Fremont, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This is a good book for bedtime reading. Easy to pick up where you let off without finishing lengthy chapters. Very well written and entertaining even if you are not into sports. Jerry Kramer gives a day by day journal of his season with the 1968 world champion Green Bay Packers. His journal includes personal stories of his first days of summer to the super bowl II victory over Oakland. He gives insight into the players love/hate relationship with Vince Lombardi and his thrill of the winning block over Dallas in the ice bowl.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CLASSIC BOOK, December 29, 2004

By	COOL JEWEL (MACEDONIA, OHIO USA) - See all my reviews

THIS IS THE STORY OF THE 1967 GREEN BAY PACKERS TOLD TO US BY JERRY KRAMER, OFFENSIVE GUARD. IT IS FROM KRAMER'S DAILY DIARY THAT WE GET THIS STORY. IT STARTS FROM TRAINING CAMP AND ENDS AT SUPER BOWL 2. THIS IS ONE FOR EVERY FOOTBALL FAN NO MATTER WHAT AGE. A WELL TOLD AND INTERESTING READ. A LOT OF INSIDE FACTS ABOUT LOMBARDI'S LAST SEASON AND WHAT WENT ON DAY BY DAY DURING THIS FINAL CHAMPION SEASON THE PACKERS WOULD HAVE FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS. KRAMER ALONG WITH DICK SCHAPP SUPPLY AN EXCELLENT READ THAT HAS NOT LOST A THING IN 37 YEARS. A MUST READ.
