I decided to try and read 50 books in 2009, and I started this one on New Year's Eve, and finished it around 2AM New Year's Day. I really enjoyed it. Josh has an incredible story. To grow up with incredible talent, be the #1 draft pick, and then recover from a huge addiction, would be one crazy story to tell. He has a great heart about it too.
The one downside of the book, is that sometimes it just doesn't flow well. The stories he tells in it are great, but they bounce around. It is hard to understand why some things are mentioned, and why other things aren't discussed in greater detail. The ending is kind of flat, but that is only because he is in like chapter one of his Major League Career.
On a whole this book was good. Any baseball player or fan would enjoy reading it too. My wife and I got to see Hamilton this past year in Baltimore. He is the real deal, a gifted athlete, and a sincere person. This book helps you know even more of his story and who he is.
