"Walker suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder (nee multiple personality disorder). His story is very interesting, as he goes through episodes of his life to explain how this disorder both helped and hindered him in various situations. He has a nice mix of faith and science to explain and overcome his condition. However, it's rather short and I'd have loved to hear more about what kinds of therapy he found helpful - what did doctors actually do for him? It's just such an uncommon disorder that I'd really like to know how it's treated successfully."
"Herschel is one of my top 3 favorite athletes of all-time. I really enjoyed getting to know him better. He's been through a battle psychologically. I hope he continues to do better. If you're a Georgia fan, a must read."
"Heavy on Jesus, light on football. If you're not a Georgia/Herschel fan, it's probably not something I would recommend. The book is about his struggle with DID and it's pretty clear that he didn't write much of it, but rather dictated it or told a series of stories and had the collaborating authors pull it all together. And I don't think they did the greatest job - the book kind of jumps all over the place. There are a couple of fun stories and interesting revelations, but the only thing that kept me reading it was because it was about Herschel."
"Herschel Walker's battle with Dissociative Identity Disorder should be a fascinating story, but I wasn't nearly as interested as I might have thought. I can't tell if the problem lies with the way the book is written or if it's the story itself: do I blame the ghost writers or the man himself for not having an interesting enough story? I choose to blame the ghost writers, since it was up to them to shape his life in a manner that would make for a better read. (But it doesn't help that there is way too much Jesus in this book.) In better hands, this would have been a good read. But I commend the fact that Walker came out about this bizzare illness, and it has helped to clear up my own misunderstandings about it. So I will just say that it is only ok."
