Customer Reviews

Great book. The Chuckster rules

I really enjoyed this book. Reads quick, but doesn't lack substance as Charles has a lot to say. My biggest surprise was in the political area: For years, I have heard that Charles is a conservative, and I always see GOP big shots try to capatalize on his fame. After reading the book, however, I don't think Charles is as much as a GOP man as even Charles himself seems to think. His views on race, wealth, big business and several other issues are light years away from anything I hear republicans in power espousing these days. His positions are much more left leaning in everything but name- which is fine. In the end, its all good no matter what your politics. Charles has much to offer here, and thankfully leaves the nuances of breaking down the pick and roll on the weak side to other books. He talks about things that matter, and for this I thank him and show up here to recommend his book.

Clear Thinker

Charles, I loved your book. I thought it was going to be a pure sports book. However, it turned out to be a life and living book. Hey, one gets what they want out of a book. What Charles says is that people don't want to talk about real issues of life - I agree. I most especially love the fact that this man wants to help kids and people in need.

Sir Charles is the proper name

I bought this book for my son, who has been a Barkley fan for years. I started to read it and decided to order another one, as I don"t want to give this up. It is great. I have also been a fan. But I enjoy his honesty and being so forthright. He's really changed my views on different things. S. Riding

BEYOND EXCELLENT

I was never a Charles Barkley fan during his days at Philly and Phoenix. I always thought he was somewhat abrasive. I've ALWAYS been and STILL AM, a Julius "Dr. J" Irving fan. But now that Charles is older and wiser, he's actually one of my favorite people. I love his candid and frank demeanor. Although he could use better choice of words when displaying his forwardness on certain individuals.Thank you Charles for writing this book. ALL PARENTS WITH POTENTIAL STUDENT ATHLETES NEED TO READ THIS HIGHLY INFORMATIVE BOOK.

Fantastic Point of View

Charles does a fine job of conveying his own view about the world, sports, whites, blacks, rich, poor, just everything under the sun. He does a great job in expressing a view for people to take a stand on, and opens reader's minds to acknowledge differences and problems in society. I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking to discover views that maybe they haven't taken the time to look at.
