Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you had questions, Dennis gives ALL of the answers!
Review: Yes, all of us has seen Dennis Rodman at one time or another. That's when we asked ourselves,"Who,what,why,where,and how.." He explains the hair colors,the aggressive on court behavior and all of the Madonna rumours with a very open and honest approach rarely expressed in other autobiographies. The only snag is his ceaseless rantings about his "lack" of a decent salary. All in all, it's a very emotional book about a man who has been misunderstood-and now better understood.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Extremely interesting, personal and real
Review: Bad As I Wanna Be is honest and straightup. It's as if Rodman is having a conversation with you as he explains the reasons behind the things he has been castigated for as well as the things that constantly fascinate the public. In fact, one would like to have told Rodman that he didn't have to discuss so much because it seems like he is trying to justify himself to those who insist on chastising him at his every turn. Rodman gives unabashed and sometimes funny opinions and observations on life experiences and those who have crossed his path. You may not agree with everything he says but you gotta respect someone who is free and lives by no one else's rules but his own.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rodman Uncensored on Everything From Madonna to the NBA!
Review: The flamboyant Chicago Bulls star lets loose with his opinions on everything from his relationship with Madonna to why he wears women's clothes and rides a pink Harley. Any book by a man who pursues controversy off the court as eagerly as he pursues rebounds on it is sure to be a page-turner! Basketball fans should also be sure to catch "Rebound: The Odyssey of Michael Jordan" by Bob Green

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The man is an overall non-stopping GOD!
Review: I've been interested in Dennis Rodman ever since his "colored" hair hit the courts. After reading "Bad As I Wanna Be", I learned that Dennis Rodman is so much more than the average person is able to see. Many people critisize the man because of his "different" ways of living. I give him all the credit in the world for not believing that he needs to be just another Shaquiel O'Neal jock role model. His book proves that he is definitely not a stereotype to be reckoned with. Rodman sets his own rules and lives by them. He's living life the way he wants and to the fullest. That's something thåt most people can't say for themselves. I suggest this book to anyone who is interested in learning about one man's individuality towards life. It's a definite up close and personal look at no ordinary basketball star

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The worm
Review: I have to say that there isn't two people in the world like Dennis Rodman! You have to read his book to understand who he is. This book isn't the best biography out there but it's Dennis Rodman... he tell you what he knows about him self not all cause he has still have many questions unsolved about him self and his sexuality for example! what i liked in this book is that, no matter what some revieuwers told here, this (...)always kepped real, ok, he got a big ego, that's the case with all the famous people, and i have to say everything he predicted in his book has happened Chicago bulls became the biggest team of nba history (72 victory), David robinson never win a championship alone(Tim Duncan was the man in the Spurs victory),Madonna is a mamma now(isn't trash nomore) and he is in the truth we he say how much David stern and the nba hate on some players, he talked about him, but there is Allen Iverson case. what i regret with this book is that sometime he doesnt say much,..., like about the women and him , the sex,..., that' s still a good book for all the people who really want to understand Dennis Rodman.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Repetitive as I Wanna Be
Review: I found this book disappointing. I was expecting something resembling an autobiography of Dennis' life, with plenty of tales from experience. While there were a few such stories, much of the book could be described as a rant, with Dennis harping on about the same old stuff again and again.
He hated the Spurs' coach, he's never been paid what he's worth, David Robinson is crap, he's a good rebounder, he was in two championship teams, he misses his daughter, he boinked Madonna, he's misunderstood, he had a tough upbrining.
I mean, fair enough that this may all be be true...but do we REALLY need to hear about it over and over and over?? Even in the chapter about sex, which you would expect to have something a little risque in it, Dennis manages to mention his rebounding average AGAIN.
If I took all the insights Dennis gave us and cut out all the repitition, this book would be about 20 pages long.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rodman is a Rebounding Genius..
Review: i read this book becasue i love dennis rodman and his style of play, his antics, and everything about him. (except the movie double team). this was a basic show you how i grew up type book, but got more personal than alot of other peoples attempts...it talked about suicide, his gayness , etc.
every sports fan , rodman-liker or not should read it...

karl malone [cant play]
peace.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: easy read
Review: Well this is a so-so book. The Worm is an interesting character and makes the book worth flipping through. However, there are times where you may wonder if his life and his emotions are as fake as his hair. I'd recommend this to Rodman fans or Rodman haters but no one else
