Reviews
Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Carson, all-pro linebacker for the Giants, offers his impressions of the 1985 season. Not exactly a household name, he is a strong, dependable player, one of the reasons the Giants' defense is so exceptional. Carson is proud of the fact that he is a "dull guy" who doesn't drink or take drugs, and he might have had some good stories to tell, but he never explores the topics of racism on the Giants and in the NFL, women reporters in locker rooms, and his unhappiness during the team's losing years, all of which he mentions and quickly drops. Since most of the book chronicles the Giants' road to the playoffs, their fans will still be pleased with this. Libraries in New York will want to purchase, but Ken Stabler and Berry Stainback's Snake (LJ 9/15/86) and Jim McMahon and Bob Verdi's McMahon (Warner, 1986) both make more exciting reading.
