"Fascinating..."
Loved the insights into the beloved team from my teenage years. Will get 2nd listen.
"Wish Mike had taken notes from Doc Gooden..."
before writing this book. I was always a Tyson fan, and have NEVER believed he was guilty of the charge he was convicted on in Indiana. I was very excited about this book, so here's my take...
There were about 10 hours of fascinating and enlightening recall of Iron Mike's life, but there was another 10 hours of recounting the who-what-when-&-where of sex, drugs, and alcohol. Book seemingly became a tell-all which I was not interested in and made Tyson's admissions and purported feelings in other portions of the book seem disingenuous, as the attempts to include every encounter with a woman or drug-fueled binge almost seemed boastful.
I struggled greatly to finish the book because of this. All of these types of admissions were omitted in Gooden's autobiography, but he provided plenty to give you a full picture, and I felt that his book was better for it.
