King of the Cowboys: The Life and Times of Jerry Jones

You may/may not like the way he has gone about things in life.
But as a Cowboys fan, the bottom line is this: Jerry is what he is; but he wants to win. Rest assured, he will do everything he can to put a winner on the field. And when something is wrong, he will go out and fix it.

This is not a bad book and I certainly recommend it for Dallas Cowboy fans or Jerry Jones fans, if there are any. But, it seemed to me to be more like a really long magazine article than a good book. That may largely be because it is written in the mid 1990's and lots of things have happened since that really belong in a book about Jones' life.

Overall it is a pretty good read and informative, but I found myself making an effort to finish it rather than having to make an effort to put it down. Dent's book about the Junction boys and Bear Bryant is a much better effort and one that was written at a better time - afterwards rather than during the story. That one was hard to put down.
