Great gift for teens
I got this as a graduation gift for my 17 year-old and he loved it. It helps that he's a HUGE AI fan.

haven't read it all yet, but
its the best selling book about allen iverson out there. im a die hard iverson fan so just the fact that this book was written was a positive thing for me. tells the story of his struggle, and the struggle of his friends and associates growing up. he's had a hard past but still entertained millions with his talents. the guy is a legend. 'nuff said

Just what he wanted
I purchased this book for my grandson who is very much into basketball and the players. He has been very excited about the book and we will probably be looking for more soon.

Iverson=greatness
I think Iverson is one of the most strong hearted players who wills himself to be great- and still to this day want him back in the nba

Not a bad read, BUT ...
This book on Allen Iverson just came far too soon.Allen Iverson is my favorite current NBA player partially b/c he shakes up the status quo -- not necessarily because he wants to make that his objective, but quite poetically, he's doing it just by being true to who he is.This book is a tale about a kid from the wrong side of the tracks, that basically struck it rich but admirably remains "the same" as opposed to "assimilating" just to make his economic & financial counterparts feel comfortable around him.No true criticism of Larry Platt's writing style. If he wanted to go deep into Allen Iverson's undocumented youth and youth exploits, that's fine too.Bottom line is this book, while it has several defining moments, just isn't a compelling enough read because it was written still TOO SOON.A.I., love him or hate him, totally revolutionized the NBA and the image it projected to Middle America.I'd love to read a book about his life when he's 50, 60 or 85.I'm sure he'll be on "60 Minutes" doing a "My Life & times" segment.Whoever writes the book about his life just before that interview will surely have a No. #1 best-seller.
