Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A GOOD LOOK AT THE SPOILED SUPERSTAR
Review: THIS BOOK GIVES YOU A GOOD LOOK AT THE TALENT OF ONE OF THE GREATS IN THE SPORT. MR BONDS IS A VERY UNIQUE TALENT WHO IS A VERY COMPLEX PERSON. HIS HISTORICAL SEASON IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND IT IS DONE WITH GREAT DETAIL AND EFFORT. I SEE MANY SIDES OF BARRY BONDS. THE ONE WHO IS TRYING TO BE MORE FRIENDLY AND AWARE OF OTHER PEOPLE BESIDES HIMSELF AND THE ARROGANT SELF CENTERED PERSON OF YEARS GONE BY. ONE OF THE BEST WRITTEN ABOUT THE HISTORIC SEASON OF THE RECORD SMASHING 73. WELL WORTH READING.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for Baseball Fans
Review: This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of major league baseball, its rivalries and intense contract negotiations.

It approaches the story as an insider's look at a somewhat unlovable sports figure and the greatest year in his career (the author is a Giants beat writer.) I learned a lot about Bonds, his respect for family and privacy and his feelings towards his teammates and fellow MLB players as well as his much-publicized, love-hate relationship with the media.

If you're a fan of the game or a student of the baseball industry, this book should be a must-read.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A better Bonds alternative
Review: With "This Gracious Season," baseball fans, Giants fans and Bonds fans are offered an alternative - and a better one at that - than some of the half-hearted, hack-written Bonds bios that flooded the market following his historic season. Well written and interesting, the book does suffer from poor editing and is riddled with typos, taking it down a precious star. Still, for those readers looking for a Bonds book that doesn't stink like four-week-old garbage, try here.
