I used to be a huge A-Rod fan, but then he seemed to be a completely different man from the one that started in the big leagues and I could no longer stand him. This book was on sale at B&N so I figured why not. By the time I finished the book I didn't know if I hated him more or just felt bad for him for being so insecure in so many different things. I'm still not the biggest A-Rod fan, he's let me down on the field too many times, but as I person this book helped me see him for more of who he really is. It was a good read about a great ballplayer fallen victim to many problems, self-inflicted or otherwise cast upon him from outside influences. The book gives enough of a glimpse for the reader to feel sorry for A-Rod, whose career has always been under a microscope with unbelievable expectations always prevalent in everything he does, from his statistics to his on-deck antics. I'm a fan of A-Rod and was thinking the book would be anti-A-Rod, but it humanized him without giving him any shortcuts that his PR-molded persona consistently tries to portray.
Finally a book that shows the real side of A-Fraud! Or maybe he should be called A-Roid!

It was a rare look into the life of one of baseball's controversial players.
