LT: Over the Edge: Tackling Quarterbacks, Drugs, and a World Beyond Football

Great Book!

L.T.: Over the Edge by Lawrence Taylor is a great and entertaining auto biography. My opinion of this book is that it was good book. It was good because besides telling you what it was like to be in the game and to be the best defensive player of all time, it told you what L.T.'s life was like outside of football. L.T.: Over the Edge takes place in New York between the 1970's and the 1990's. Lawrence Taylor's addiction to drugs and partying was the major conflict in this book. L.T. would skip practice and get in trouble with, police and drug dealers all the time. Also L.T. ruined his marriage because of his addiction and his carelessness. In the book L.T. uses cocaine at an away game and he instantly became addicted. Doing cocaine ruined L.T.'s marriage and greatly affected how he played in games and practices. Lawrence Taylor got a divorce with his wife and she got custody of the children, which made L.T. break down and almost go insane. His divorce was a result of his cheating and doing cocaine. L.T. entered a rehab program to try to get clean but he kept having relapses. He finally decided to get serious about it and entered one for months. The author wrote the book in first person point of view. He uses curse words in his writing which I found interesting because most books don't have bad language in them, but it made it realistic. If you like football, and L.T. then you will love this book. You get to see how he played even though he was doing drugs and you get to see about his life outside of football which was my favorite part.

What its like to be a hall of famer on drugs

In LT: Over The Edge Lawerence Taylor explains his life. He talks about his childhood in North Carloina all the way untill his days playing for the New York Giants. In between those times he had a life that was taking over by partying. He let his life go out of control and finally got on the right track. His major message was to live life to the fulliest and as a young man he thought doing drugs and partying was the best thing he could do. He didnt ever have a dull moment. I like how this book was brutally honest. Anything cocky in the book about football was quoted by someone else and when playing a sport you also need that attitude that you are the best player out there and no one is better than you. I really enjoyed this book and not many dislikes. Someone should read this to show how drugs can take someone who was basically superman and make him a small person.

LT: Over the Edge: Tackling Quarterbacks, Drugs, and a World Beyond Football

This book is about a hall of fame football player who drugs at one point took over his life.Lt started using cocaine as a social thing, but then it got to a point that it became a daily thing. The NFL started doing random drug test¿s Lt would tell people to urine in a cup for him so he can cheat the drug test it wouldn¿t show that he used drugs. Then Lt got two strikes for failing two drug test¿s after he heard that if he failed another drug test he would be banned from the NFL. So Lt got serious by going to rehab and cleaning himself up. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to find out the real truth about Lawrence Taylor. Also because it¿s a good book to read, and its very interesting. Also to anybody who likes football. And also I would recommend it because it shows you the affects that drugs have on someone¿s behavior. And it gives you the real facts about Lt¿s drug habit.

This book is great for young readers who don't like to read or are from a troubled background. It holds your interest throughout the book and shows the hardships one can overcome if they are willing. I highly recomend this book to everyone.

When Reality Hits Life

I really enjoyed this book. I read it in a two-day span, and I got alot from it. I breaks down year-by-year in his career and shows what drugs, women, and other things can do to your life. It also shows that you can battle drugs, and turn your life around.

GREAT!

This book was great and i highly reconmend it!!!

Wonderful....

I absolutely loved this book. I was thrown off at first by the actual writing, but Lawrence Taylor HAD written in the beginning that it was his book, his story, and before long I felt as if I could actually place his voice to the words on the page. So often LT seemed to be having the time of his life, but for all those parties wherein he was happy, his wife was at home feeling very unhappy. I wonder if he ever thought of that? I wasn't in Mrs. Taylor's shoes, so I can't judge her thinking, but I don't think I could stay married to a man who cheated so carelessly and without regard to my children's feelings. That said, there wasn't a boring spot in the entire book. In fact, not discounting the seriousness of LT's problems, for which his fans wished him well, there were so many funny stories. I especially got a kick out LT's comments about Bill Belichick. I do hope Mr. Taylor remains in good health. And one more thing. I think his new wife could take him in a fight!
