Two greats one book

Brady vs. Manning
By Gary Myers

        If you have two thumbs and can call yourself a human and lookingfor a very factual book about the greatest rivalry in sports history then Brady vs Manning by Gary Myers for you

     This novel is based around the two greatest quarterbacks of our generation and the journey that they went on to get to greatness. The path that these two quarterbacks took to get to the NFL is almost the complete opposite of each other. Tom Brady had three sisters, a father that never played football, and a mother that played soccer. Peyton Manning on the other hand had two brothers, Eli, the starting quarterback for the New York Giants(the patriots archrivals), and Cooper, a once starting wide receiver for the University of Mississippi. His father, Archie Manning, was the starting for the New Orleans Saints. Tom was a sixth round draft pick by the patriots while Peyton was a first overall pick by the Colts. Both of the quarter backs are arguably the greatest to ever play thier position but in my opinion Tom comes out on top.
          I can honestly say that this book is very informational and gets the point across pretty well although, I can't honestly say that it is very exciting. The book gives a lot of interesting facts about the two quarterbacks and also gives a great backstory on how the rivalry first began but it doesn't do it in a very fun and exciting way. The author does a great job at staying neutral when comparing the two and gets into great detail about each player. I would strongly recommend this book to avid football fans or someone trying to better educate themselves on either Peyton Manning or Tom Brady.
