It's Good to Be Gronk

I was looking for another book to read and I found this one, It's Good to be Gronk. I chose to reads this book because Rob Gronkowski is my favorite professional football player. I thought it would be interesting to learn more about him and how he got to where he is now. Growing up watching the Patriots, I always loved the way Rob plays the game and seeing him accomplish so much made me happy to be a New England Patriots fan. I was not expecting what I read from this book. I expected this to be just a story about Gronk and his career in the Nation Football League. It was more about his family, growing up, and how he became the greatest tight end in the league right now. I had a personal connection to this book, Rob played many sports growing up, such as basketball and football as do I. I played flag football for a few years growing up and always idolized him when I was playing out on the field. His main theme of this book was that hard work makes the difference, he put in so much hard work to be able to get to the place he is right now. I would recommend this book to any Patriots fans out there and pretty much anyone who has any interest in football. Gronk has put in the hard work as he says, that makes the difference.

This book is an intellectual tour de force. Just kidding. It is kind of entertaining though.As most football fans know Rob Gronkowski is the fun loving tight end for the New England Patriots who gets a lot of hype for being a great football player and being a legendary partier. Here he tells a little bit about himself and his now infamous family of Gronks.The first part of the book is about growing up with three older brothers (one younger) and the roughhousing and fighting that toughened up Rob. It’s pretty crazy how rough they were with each other. I feel sorry for their mom. Gronk also goes into detail how his dad hooked them on working out and getting stronger turning the four boys into elite athletes and fierce competitors.The book, of course, talks a lot about partying and beer drinking. Gronk has his own party bus, which has gotten a lot of attention in the press. Sounds like a fun bus to be on. He does make it clear he does not party during football season.We also learn a bit about what a fierce competitor and task master on the football field that Tom Brady can be. Gronk credits Brady for working on him to be become the best tight end in pro football.The one concerning aspect of the book is the number of injuries Gronk has suffered. He hurt his back lifting weights in college and has had a couple of surgeries as a result. He broke his forearm in the pros and had to have multiple surgeries after he re-broke it and it got infected. Then he has an ACL injury. I wonder how keeps playing with all these injuries.Overall, I personally enjoyed the book since I am a New England Patriots fan. For others, you mileage may vary.

I like this book because it gives you an inside look on his life outside of football, as well as a good look into his football life. You don't have to understand football to read this because the authors do a very good job of explaining. Gronk gives you a great look into when he was injured and how it motivates him. You'll be a fan of his at the end of the book.

This was a superficial book and I was disappointed that it didn't have more depth. For those who have followed his career, we knew about the football information already. Maxmontgomery

Got this book as a gift for my grandfather who has been a lifelong patriots fan and is always yelling for gronk to truck people over. He said he enjoyed learning more about gronk and how he puts so much time into being great. He thinks he parties too much but i told him when you put up the stats he does it doesn't matter. But overall a good insight on gronk and how he became the best tightend in the league.

Great book. Gronk is a character and I was excited to read this. I also appreciate that it’s a good length. It’s not overly long, it’s a quick read, in a good way.

I love Gronk . Top three favorite football player. But this book is awful, it reads like a wikipedia article. "This happened and then this happened and then this happened and then this happened."

Although this was written before Gronk retired, it was an interest display of the dynamics within a very competitive family.

Excellent book. Well written and an entertaining insight into the life of Gronk.

Great book. Quick delivery.
