What a book! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

When I saw this book lying around in my house I thought it would be a boring book but when I started reading it in my English class I found out that it was a really interesting book. It talks about things that happened on football games and also things that didn't happened on football games. I really recommend this book if you have not seen the strangest things that happen at football games. This book is for people that like to laugh at little and that like crazy things.

Editorial Review:

Have you heard about the quarterback who threw a successful forward pass -- to himself? Or the NFL star who suffered a career-ending injury -- during the pre-game coin toss?

Pigskin fans will love this wacky book packed with the strangest -- but true -- football stories.

Excellent for Davis fans Adequate for others 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This biography will delight young fans of Terrell Davis although readers without a working knowledge of football may have difficulty following the play-by-play descriptions that occur at different points in this story. The vocabulary is acceptable for the target audience, and while the writing is not outstanding - it is adequate.

On the Field with Terrell Davis 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

On The Field With Terrell Davis was great. Terrell Davis's rushing record was 329 yards. Terrell Davis grew up around drugs and alcohol. But he still went to college and
got drafted sixth in the NFL.
He was a two- time Super Bowl champion1999.In 1998, he had 78 carries, 468 yards, 6.0 average, 3 touchdowns, and 4 catch. Terrell Davis best year was in 1997. I like the book On the Field with Terrell Davis because It had his career stats. Career stats are his yards. Touchdowns and stuff like that.
I wish the book had been longer I'm not going to tell you the whole book. If you want to learn more about the book read On The Field With Terrell Davis.

Editorial Review:

"Superstar running back Terrell Davis helped his team, the Denver Broncos, to two consecutive Super Bowl titles, first in 1998, then again in 1999. He holds multiple records, including those for postseason rushing average, consecutive 100-yard rushing games in the postseason, and best per-game rushing average. A unanimous Pro Bowl selection for 1999--his third straight year of playing in that game--Davis was also named MVP and Offensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press for 1999."

The reason I like this book is because when you read it, it feels like you're really with them. It's interesting so much that you could just read it over. I also liked reading it because it's a biography, and I LOVE biographies. This is one of the best books I read. I hope you read it!
