This book is a great read for Bronco and Elway fans of any age. It chronicles the life of John Elway from the time he was a child, through college and his joining of the Broncos, to his victory against the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXII. Black and white pictures are included with each chapter, and the center section 14 pages of color photos, as well. The author (Clay Lattimer) is a sports writer for the Rocky Mountain News, and he also draws on Sports Illustrated, Becket Football Monthly, and even Newsweek, as well as several other sports sources, so he packs a lot of information, dates, and statistics into each chapter. He also packs a lot of superfluous detail, too -- the writing meanders a bit and doesn't always stay on focus. But hey -- if you're an Elway fan (like me), who cares? The book is fun to read even in the places where it goes off topic. If there was such a thing as a "definitive" biography of an Elway, this would probably be it. If you're an Elway fan, get this book and enjoy it!

John Elway: Armed and Dangerous, by Clay Latimer, is a must for the John Elway and Denver Bronco fans. It is an easy to read book on Elway's career and personal life filled with quotes from players and unknown stories about other football greats. It sometimes drags a little as it gets off the subject quite a bit.

I'm Reading This Book Called John Elway Armed And Dangerous. This Book Is Awesome And Takes Place In Mile High city Denver Colorado. This Story Is Recommended For All Ages Including Adults.It Is Insightful And Integrating The Story Of John Elway And His Struggle To Become the Greatest quarterback To Ever Play In The NFL.Jack Elway Is A Demanding And Powerful Father, He Is Who bring Him There.
The Writing Style Of The Book is done fantastically and is interlocking. The characters are well developed and I dislike the coaches that dislike John. The amazing part is that I live in the area of the stadium legends played in. I would recommend this book for any Elway fan or Denver Bronco fan. Like I said this book is amazing and inviting.
