Summary: Couldn't Put it Down in Borders!
Review: You know how most basketball books are if you've read any. What struck me about Shaq's new book was its humor, its frankness, and its style. Despite the fact that I can't stand the Lakers and I love to see my Kings pound them at Arco, Shaq is a good guy who doesn't pull any punches. If you can defeat Shaq, you've defeated the best. That's why I love him as an opponent. He's honest about whom he respects and doesn't, and he also touches candidly on what it's like to be a role model for kids and how important it is for himself to be a good father. But the whole style of the book won me over, as it is written in that somewhat cocky-yet-truthful conversational tone that is so characteristic of Shaq. This book is an entertaining read for any NBA fan, for if you are a true NBA fan, you can't help but be a fan of Shaq (but still hope the Lakers tank!).
