Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very interesting read
This is quite simply one of the best sports biographies I have ever read. It is written in a very readable and interesting manner. Very highly recommended.
Rating: - A Different Perspective
The author certainly did his homework by interviewing over 500 people who have had some interaction with Bonds over his life in order to write this book. What was grat about this book was that it wasn't written by Bonds or from the perspective of the author it was more other peoples true experiences about Bonds spun into a book. This was a fresh look at this guy and not written to drag him down or to glorify him, you are left to make your own opinion. I liked it.

Rating: - Excellent insight into Barry Bonds
Excellent book. Very entertaining. If you are a baseball fan this is a must have as it talks of Bonds throughout his baseball career. There are many quotes from his teammates on the Pirates and the Giants as well as items from his college days.
The book talks about his marriages and his relationship with his dad.
I finished this book in a week when it usually takes me a month or so to finish a book. I could not put it down.
