Amye Leong, Joe Layden

Tarcher, 2002

A Truly Inspiring Book!

This is a story about a woman who at the age 18 was stricken by a disease normally attributed to those much older. Amye Leong tells her story of pain, of despair and hope, of setbacks and victories.

All About Apolo5 reviews
Joe Layden

Tandem Library, 2003

All About Apolo is AWESOME!
All fans of Apolo Anton Ohno, kids and grownups alike, must have this book--it is AWESOME! It has tons of big, glossy pictures--dramatic moments from the Olympics, cute candid pics, and precious childhood photos. There's also fascinating information in "Getting Personal With Apolo" (did you know he has a cat named Tiggie?) and "Apolo's Faves & Raves" (his favorite room is the kitchen!). I ... 		  
  







  
  
The Last Great Fight : The Extraordinary Tale of Two Men and How One Fight Changed Their Lives Forever7 reviews

St. Martin's Press, 2007

Waiting for the Next Great Fight
Prior to reading the book, I always thought that Douglas won this fight because he was in the right place at the right time. Tyson was dealing with a ton of issues, wasn't prepared to fight, his corner wasn't prepared to support his fight, and the result was more of a Tyson loss than a Douglas win. After reading this book, I changed my mind. Layden does a wonderful job setting up the ...

This book talks about the life of the young rising star Kobe Bryant and how he got to where he is now. It is a great book.

A Smile as Big as the Moon : A Teacher, His Class, and Their Unforgettable Journey19 reviews
Mike Kersjes, Joe Layden, 2002

Awesome!
A Smile as Big as the Moon, by Mike Kersjes, is a very inspiring and encouraging book. Personally, I was happy to see a teacher who took risks to make those children with disabilities feel proud of themslves. Personally, as an employee at a school with disabled children, I know what it takes to make those children happy. I can call Kersjes a gifted teacher who devoted his time, energy, and money ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2003

A Smile as Big as the Moon
This is the first review I have written and I just wanted everyone to know what an unexpected treat this book was. I purchased the book at a $6.00 or less table at the local book store and in return laughed and cried. In my opinon, I recieved a great bargan. The writing was ok, which more than adequately got the message across because the children were the story, not the author, the teacher or ...

Stoddart, 1998

Made for the serious knowledge-seeker of Magic.
Richly informative and easily able to hold the attention of the modern-day reader while acquainting him with the fully illustrated history of this continuing marvel right up to the present day. A must for magic fanatics and historians alike.

There and Back Again105 reviews
Sean Astin, Joe Layden

Virgin Books, 2004

Love it or hate it
There and Back Again is a book you will either love or hate. You will love it if: 1. You are a Sean Astin fan, or if you are interested in the actor and his life beyond the LOTR experience. 2. You are aware that this is an autobiography, where it is natural for the author to talk mainly about himself. 3. You can appreciate ultimate honesty, especially from someone who has every reason not ... 		  
  







  
  
Home Before Daylight31 reviews
Steve Parish, Joe Layden

Piatkus Books, 2004

Good insider book
One of the better Dead books I've read. Parish (with assist from Layden) surely has a lot of stories to tell and he does it in an affable manner - even when his own behavior is less than stellar. Learned a lot about Jerry Garcia, but little about the rest of the band. Though that's understandable since Parish was by far closest to Garcia. In reading this back to back with the books by Rock ... 		  
  







  
  
Inside the Wnba: A Behind the Scenes Photo Scrapbook (She's Got Game)1 review
Joe Layden, James Preller

Scholastic, 1999

A few years out of date, but good
The biggest weakness is that the book doesn't contain anything about this season's incredible crop of rookies, from Jackie Stiles to Katie Smith. However, if your local paper's sports section is as lousy at WNBA coverage as mine is, the book contains a treasure of pictures and words about some of the solidest basketball players in the world.

All the Rage: The Life of an NFL Renegade4 reviews
Charles Haley, Joe Layden

Andrews Mcmeel Pub, 1997

A great book for the true Dallas fans!
Haley expresses his views (openly) on everything from racism in the NFL to the physical and emotional toll the game takes on its players. He doesn't hold anything back and just tells it how it is. Not many players get to play for two great teams (like the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers) and win Super Bowls with each. He's a legendary player and that explains why he's the only man ... 		  
  







  
  
The Heart of the Matter : The Three Key Breakthroughs to Preventing Heart Attacks7 reviews
Peter Salgo, Joe Layden, 2004

Bound to be controversial -- but arguably a lifesaver
It's fascinating to me that two respected and reputable New York cardiologists, Peter Salgo in "The Heart of the Matter" and Jonathan Sackner Bernstein in "Before It Happens to You," have come out in the same month with books espousing the unusual, rather heretical view that most Americans, even those regarded as healthy, would benefit from taking the popular cholesterol-lowering drugs called ... 		  
  







  
  
Thin Ice: The Complete Uncensored Story of Tonya Harding : America's Bad Girl of Ice Skating1 review
Frank Coffey, Joe Layden

High-Top Sports Productions, 1994

This is, at best, a collection of news stories
This "bio" which was obviously hastily churned out right after the 1994 assault on Nancy Kerrigan, doesn't tell the reader anything that hasn't already been printed in news stories. It's doubtful that the writers even interviewed anyone in the Harding camp; for instance, they repeatedly refer to her mother as LaVona Golden, when the woman doesn't even use that name. A shameless attempt to cash in ... 		  
  







  
  
Return of a Champion: The Monica Seles Story3 reviews
Joe Layden

St Martins Mass Market Paper, 1996

Monica is perfect, she has natural beuty (she is not som Ann
It is a great book! You have done a great job. It is perfect that you've included a lot of information. You have written about Monica's childhood, what was just perfect. There was also a lot of information about how Monica was training, the way she was winning her tournaments. Everybody who is interested in Monica (tennis), even if you are not you WILL ENJOY THIS BOOK!!!! 		  
  







  
  
Street Justice28 reviews
Chuck Zito, Joe Layden

St. Martin's Griffin, 2003

Entertaining Enough I Suppose
Chuck Zito is a long time Hells Angel, bodyguard to celebrities and an actor who plays tough guy roles. The content in this is more or less Zito talking about his love of motorcycles, boxing, martial arts, life in the Hells Angels, his work as a bodyguard to various celebrities and his stint in prison, including a humorous recollection of being detained in a Japanese prison while awaiting ... 		  
  







  
  
Warrior King: The Triumph and Betrayal of an American Commander in Iraq13 reviews
Nathan Sassaman, Joe Layden

Macmillan Audio, 2008

An ex grunt
I guess I should start off by saying that I served under Lt. Col. Sassaman's command during OIF 1. I've always told my family and friends that I am proud to have served under him. I ended up reading the book in a single sitting. I feel that the information provided in the book was accurate and actually captured some of the views of the soldiers under his command. Sassaman was well liked by ...
