4.0 out of 5 stars Why I liked this book!, December 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Quarterback Exchange-I Was John Elway (NFL Monday Night Football Club #1) (Paperback)

The story of how Nick became John Elway for a night is quite good! Although, I am not a football fan, I liked the story because of the funny situations, and the true feelings. I could understand what it would be like to be Nick, and his efforts in vain to alert his friends to the change! Also, I liked the way it switched from Nick's point of view to that of his friends watching the game. All in all, it was a very good book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, April 27, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Quarterback Exchange-I Was John Elway (NFL Monday Night Football Club #1) (Paperback)

I like the book because the auther descibed the characters well. He descibed Nick the main character perfictly. It had so much imagrey.

The best part of the book is when Nick Lighter fell asleep with the jersey on during a monday night foot ball game and he found himself staring at sixty eight thousan fans at mile high stadium. He was Broncos legond John Elway.

The Describsion was great. The green grass,tons of fans,and the bright lights over the stadium. I like the conflict Nick aginst the best defence in football.
