Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: Will Peyton Manning do for the pro football Indianapolis Colts what he did for his collegiate Tennessee Volunteers? Can he adjust to professional-caliber defensive schemes and justify the millions shelled out to sign him? Jimmy Hyams, author of this breathless biography, and apparently Manning's biggest fan, will tell you it's a done deal. According to Hyams, this quarterback is no ordinary Joe: he can throw a few touchdowns, take his mom to church, kiss an armload of babies, and give the less fortunate a helping hand all before most of us have gotten out of bed. Aside from this overt bias toward the subject and the publisher's annoying convention of nonindented paragraphs, Hyams has written a fairly interesting chronicle of the making of a superstar. Hyams is obviously well versed in Manning family lore and has done his homework in preparation for this, his first book. While tracing Manning's rise from high-school prospect to Heisman contender, and finally No. 1 draft pick to the NFL, he draws some intriguing comparisons to that other Manning, Archie, whose own noteworthy accomplishments may eventually be eclipsed by his strong-armed son. After reading Primed and Ready, the younger Manning's legion of fans can all share a conspiratorial high-five. Anyone still on the fence about the young quarterback will rest assured that even if the campus hero isn't someday named Superbowl Most Valuable Player, he's already a saint. --George Laney Product Description: Get inside the person and personality of the University of Tennessee's most successfull quarterback, Peyton Manning, and his preparations for the NFL. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very little substanceThis book was not well written and was basically the author praising Peyton in a cringe-worthy fashion. There wasn't any substantive and the book ends with Peyton getting drafted by the Colts. If you're interested in learning about Peyton, get the book he and his father helped write (there's more stuff about his childhood, family relationships, etc.). Rating: - Good Info, Terrible ProseHyams has done his homework with this project. He accumulated material from a wealth of contributors including personalities from Newman High School as well as the University of Tennessee. However, one can tell, after reading the first chapter, this is Hyams, formerly asst. sports editor of the Knoxville News-Sentinel, first foray into penning a novel length book. The content reads like an extended feature story one would find in the local newspaper's sports section. Specifically, ... Read More Rating:  - I liked itHyams does a good job here. I recommend it and "A Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football" for any die-hard SEC fans. Buy the book! Rating:  - Good reading for the college football fanIf you our a Peyton Manning, UT Football or just College Football fan you will like this book. It talks about the recruiting process and what it took to get Peyton to Knoxville and what it took for him to stay. Rating: - Shows the man behind the football mask, great.I have always been a huge fan of Peyton Manning and wanted to read about him in a mid sized novel. I found exactly what I was looking for in this book, it told me everything I wanted to know from his upbringing and childhood, to his college football career, to NFL analysis of his ability to make it big in the NFL. For any one who wants to learn about the best quarterback in University of Tennessee history I suggest you read this book
