Relentless: A Memoir Hardcover – Illustrated, October 24, 2017

This is an excellent memoir by Super Bowl LIII MVP Julian Edelman.The memoir is aptly named as well: relentless. This is the saga of an undersized but determined athlete who persevered through high school, college, and the NFL to overcome his lack of size with relentless determination to succeed.Julian walks us through his entire athletic career overcoming all the doubters and shaping himself into a successful athlete at all levels of football. What is truly amazing is his ability to go from a small college quarterback at Kent State and learn a whole new craft of being a successful wide receiver in the NFL. That is not an easy transition even for the most gifted of athletes but Edelman not only has done it but now has one of the iconic catches in Super Bowl history and now a Super Bowl MVP that will etch his name in football history in perpetuity.I also liked how the book is interspersed with thoughts from coaches and teammates throughout his athletic journey.This is a great book that shows that relentless determination can allow anyone to live their dreams.

I'm usually a slow reader, like a book a month if that kind of slow. I read this book in less than a week. I was so sad when it was finished.I love learning about the upbringings of my favorite sports stars and how they got to where they are today. The great thing about this book is it's educational too, he doesn't just tell you a play that they played or the defense played against him he goes in to detail about what that means and what it looks like on the field.There are inserts from people in his life, from family to his agents to Brady, Coach Belichick and Robert Kraft, I found it fascinating to read what they had to say about him as a person and a player.If you're a sports fan, football fan, Patriots fan or just want a really good book that will educate and give you a behind the scenes look in to an NFL player's life then this is the perfect book for you. I would recommend this book to anyone.

This book is a wonderful and easy read! Any lover of football would enjoy reading his story of growing up and playing in the NFL, even if they are not a Patriots fan. Edelman has a great story of never giving up and continuing to better himself in order to keep playing in the NFL. Relentless takes an in depth look into his childhood, college, and NFL career as well as giving short bits from family/friends and coaches.I truly enjoyed reading this book and found myself smiling with most of the stories he tells. There is also a lot of flashbacks to previous games that it always interesting and you can find his opinion on some of the things that have happened within the NFL.

Im not a huge reader but I thought I would give this book a look. It was a decent book and you do get a look into his personal views and what it takes for some people to get into and stay in the NFL especially as an underdog. I can warn you there is LOTS of game recap. LOTS of game recap, with plenty of details (that got a bit boring to me) but that's just my opinion. I don't professionally review literature so I am going to give it 4 stars because I did enjoy the book, but sometimes I got tired of literally reading a play by play game. I was more into the background story and personal information.

I really enjoyed this book. I really admire his unstoppable work ethic which got him where he is today. I’ve always admired people who work for everything they have and Julian Edelman has worked so hard his entire life. In the cut throat business of professional sports, he kept striving to improve himself. This is a great book for anyone who needs to be reminded what hard work and grit can accomplish. I really enjoyed the parts from other people’s perspective. It made the book more well rounded and was interesting to read how they remembered an event.

Great value. Thanks!

Even if your not a patriot which i'm not it was a very good book.read it in a couple days

Good read! I'd recommend it to anyone who loves sports and competition. Jillian Always worked hard an was a super competitive player for the New England Patriots.

Relentless is a great insight into Julian’s mindset. His determination and resilience is evident throughout. A great read not just for patriots fans but for people who face or have faced adversity. There are some great photos in there too.

Julian was always a player to watch, full of effort, this book gives an insight into why and how he became a great.

I’m no Patriots fan, but this book goes some way to explaining a lot of their success, perhaps unintentionally. The Edelman work ethic appears to be the norm. A good read indeed.

Awesome book and an interesting insight

A great read about the importance of working hard to reach your goals and believing in yourself.
