Briefly I find it ironic that one of the longest books that I've ever read in my life is a biography of a football personality. Reading The Last Cowboy, I can understand how trimming the experiences of Tom Landry would be difficult if one wants to capture the full depth and breadth of a larger-than-life individual.
This book is also the story of the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys during their respective Landry years after all, one simply cannot remove the football team from the man's life, as it WAS such a large part of who he was.
Well researched, well written, and a nice read frankly, I admit that I was pleasantly surprised that the book managed to hold my interest for its over 600 pages, but it did.
RATING: 4 stars,.
DISCLOSURE: This book was provided free of charge by the publisher without obligation. I'm sure they will appreciate an unbiased posted review, and will be grateful that it turned out to be favorable. (As far as prompt well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad ...)
