"Pearlman delivers another gem. A great look into the life of an athlete whose entire life focus has been on a singular goal - to be the best pitcher of all time."
"I was always a Clemens fan. I was from the Bob Gibson School--if the batter is taking away the inside part of the plate, throw inside. Plunk him in the ribs if necessary. Clemens did that often, and was a fierce competitor on the field. I liked him a lot. And then he became--in no particular order-- an obnoxious boor, a lousy teammate, and a steroid cheat. So I read this book hoping to find out what happened to him. But Pearlman never really makes it clear whether Clemens was always a jerk or whether he became one as his career continued. My guess is some of both. There are a lot of incidents and "facts" in this book, which make it a decent read, but not a lot of backup to them, and almost no speculation on the autor's part. I found it disappointing even as I found it interesting. On a side note, my sons wanted "Boys Will be Boys" for Christmas last year. I think it is the only book that ever made me feel slimy while I was purchasing it. They, of course, loved it. Make of it what you will."
"I really didn't know all that much about Roger Clemens when I started this book - but I really enjoyed the writing style (always love Jeff Pearlman's books) and I found myself really enjoying the book all the way through."
"Interesting read - less for the snide comments and occasional pat on the back. But for someone who essentially grew up with Roger Clemens as a baseball star, it was good to get more into the background. Hard to like someone (regardless of the author's bias) who says "do as I say, not as I do.""
