2.0 out of 5 stars Lambert deserves better, July 14, 2001

This review is from: Jack Lambert: Tough As Steel (Paperback)

....Many people were interviewed for this book but very few of them were close to Lambert. Lambert is a private man and most of his friends respected his privacy by not giving interviews. While reading this book, one could not help but think that this book is not what Lambert would have wanted. Despite the amateur job, the author did provide some interesting stories and accounts about Lambert's younger days.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent biography of America's No. 1 Middle-linebacker., June 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Jack Lambert: Tough As Steel (Paperback)

Ron Rotunno interviewed scores of Lambert's school mates, ex-coaches, relatives, & sports writers who know Lambert personally. Provides insight into how & why Lambert became the outstanding athlete he did. Complimentary, offering Lambert as a role model for today's youth, Rotunno concludes that Jack has probably accomplished the "American Dream" by single-minded determination & belief that, if he did the best he could, he could succeed--regardless of earlier appraisals. An inspiring book for athletes and sports fans. Would recommend that it be picked up by a major publisher and distributed nationally.

This review is from: Jack Lambert: Tough As Steel (Paperback)

This book is terrible. It is amateurish. I wish I could get my ten bucks back. I as big a Steelers fan as you will find and this couldn't keep my attention. The only reason I gave it one star is because I couldn't give it zero.
