( ) I enjoy watching Ronnie play snooker and thought I might enjoy his book. But I found it a bit disappointing. Firstly, this is his second autobiography and I think it assumes you have read the first one, which I haven't. There are references to his earlier life, but only in the context of its effect on events of 2012-2013. Secondly, there are quite a few factual errors and plain typographic errors in the book. That doesn't inspire confidence in the accuracy of any of the previously non-public information. Thirdly, the book rambles and bounces around. There is repetition and contradiction. I guess the intention is to make it feel like Ronnie is really telling this story to you personally... but it doesn't quite work for me. Overall this is an easy read. But it lacks the insights into Ronnie's life that I'd hoped for; and it isn't totally believable. I think a proper biography written long after Ronnie's snooker career is over is worth waiting for. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

World snooker champion Ronnie O'Sullivan's frank and honest account of his astonishingly dramatic life Running is my drug. To be honest, drugs (and alcohol) used to be my drug, but now I've got the healthiest addiction going. Running is what has helped me fight my demons, win five world snooker championships, and cope with all the crap life's thrown at me. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and in this book I look at everything that hasn't killed me, but has had a good go—my addictive personality, depression, my dad's murder conviction, the painful break-up with the mother of my children, and the difficulty of balancing family life with that of a sportsman. Those are the downers. But it's also about the great things in my life—my kids, snooker, my dad's release from prison, great mates who have helped me, and the psychiatrist Dr. Steve Peters who has taught me how not to run away from life when it gets tricky. For the first time, I explain some of my madder moments—why I walked out in the middle of a match against Stephen Hendry, why I sat with a wet cloth over my face in a match against Mark King. This is a book about what it takes to be a champion—the sacrifices you have to make, the obsessive practice, the selfishness. Finally, it's a book about what it's like to get the buzz, and I hope anybody who's ever got the running buzz will relate to this. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
