About this ebook
For the first time, the real Rudy shares his story of floundering through school with undiagnosed dyslexia and finding himself mixed up with a rough and rowdy crowd. "Football was my salvation in high school," Rudy believes, and while he dreamed of playing for Notre Dame, he never believed he was smart enough to make it to the elite group of higher education.
A poignant and high-energy storyteller, Rudy details failures and pitfalls along the way. He explains the persistence and determination it took to get accepted to Notre Dame, to suit up and play for twenty-seven glorious seconds, and to see the dream of his movie become a reality. Rudy is truly a real-life testament to the old adage that it is not how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get up again. He will motivate you to discover your own dreams and to them with unrelenting faith that anything is possible.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I honestly did not want to like this book. I thought it was either going to be self promotion or some sort of 'look at me, I'm Rudy' thing. In reality, it was a good read. Very fast. It provides a lot of background info on the movie of the same name. It also looks at some other achievements he had while at ND but were left out of the movie because his tackle against Ga Tech was not the only thing he ever did. If you liked the movie Rudy, the background info in this book alone makes it worth your time to read.
