Life's a kick-bookrewiev

Ok anybody that just know a minimal thing about me knows i love sports and especially American Football. Well my interest in American football comes partially from my dad but also from following Morten Andersen. Well today January 25th the latter's autobiography was released and i had a preordered copy waiting for me so it came in the mail (with my new web cam as well.). The book is written in co operation with Jimmy Bøjgård (danish broadcaster on the NFL). The book in of it's self is very good and it gives a nice and rather good look into the life of a professional athlete. There is compared to other biographies by athletes i have read the distinct difference that Andersen does not involve his personal life as much as some of the others i have read. In reading it all i see is a bunch of stories put in chronological setting and then told with Morten's own comments. Also another dig is the layout. For instance there is a part of the book where he is telling a story and then suddenly there is a picture series over a few pages that explains his kick and kicking technique. I am a real sucker for all the anecdotes and of those there are plenty both the good ones and the bad ones. I also like that the book was able to get in digs at both Bobby Petrino and Michael Vick who both deserve what was coming to them. I will say the book gets 3 points out of 5. It lacks in layout and personal stories. On the plus side i liked that charity chapter and the stories of the great kicks of his career. Best Kicks
