 The man, the legend. January 27, 2004
Mr. Samuel B. R. Monson
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Every football fan knows about Walter Payton the football player, and the title of the book best sums up his football playing life, 'Never Die Easy'. He played hard and never took the easy way out. What people may not know is that this title could equally well be attributed to Walter Payton the man. Tragically torn from this world by cancer at a young age, this book gives an insight into Walter Payton, not only the great football player, but the great man. A truly inspirational story and a true lesson on how to live your life and to conduct yourself.
One of the best books you will ever read December 4, 2003

A spectacular account of a life lived by a truly extraordinary person. Whether its the best written book or not is immaterial as the words are genuine, highly compelling, thought provoking and display the level of regard the people that met this man hold him in. His coach Mike Ditka summed it up best when he said, 'He had a far greater impact on my life than I ever did on his. He's the best football player that I've ever seen, and he's one of the best people I ever met.'
 Lazy and Fawning August 31, 2003

A truly lazy piece of work - by both author and publisher. Also, one of the most fawning books I have ever read. Did I need to be told twenty times each page how great a man Walter Payton was? If you're thinking of reading this book because you're interested in football, forget it. Too much sugar makes people sick....

A inspirational and sometimes sad tale concentrating on Walter's passion for life and Football. Great moments such as his enshrinement in the hall of fame and the breaking of Jim Browns rushing record are all relived in detail as are the setting up of his lasting legacy the Walter Payton Foundation. In short a great read about a great man. Highly recommended.
The Man Behind The Football Player February 17, 2003

Everyone knows about Walter Payton, the hall of fame football player. They know that for years he single handedly carried the Chicago Bears on his back all the while working his way towards becoming the NFLs all time leading rusher. But the fans could not know the man Walter Payton, the father Walter Payton, the man under the football player.
This book is made up of thoughts, feelings and quotes of Payton's closest friends and family members as well as himself. It is insightful and emotional. These are people that cared for him deeply and it shows. Beginning with his childhood and progressing to his death, this book covers a lot. It was origionally started as his autobiograhpy but unfortunately he passed away before it's completion. So they added the perspectives of his friends and family, in their own words to round the book out. I remember Walter Payton, the football player, and was a fan. I now know Walter Payton the man, and must say that I am a fan. He was an outstanding individual. Read this book and you will see a refreshing look at a professional athlete and a refreshing look on life and death. Walter Payton is truly a man to remembered. Bottom line - you can't go wrong with this book. Read it an enjoy.
