This is whatz good
Since I am a fan of her it is important to know about her life and how her life realtes to mine. Untill I exactly read her book, I never knew of her personal struggles she went through to being a world champion. I see she has her share of problems that normal young women experience. The book totally shocked me when I learn she really didn't live with her father and how life became harder for her after her mother and father seperated. You would never think that a strong person like Laila would go through the same emotions, thousands of other young women go through today. I learned a lot from this book and I would recommend this to anyone seeking to know more about her life and to all those girls trying to blssom into a Lady.

She make you want to figth!
I am a big Laila Ali fan. Even I did not know her rough past because she kept it from the press very well. After reading this book and Laila sharing her past with me I fell that I can become a beautiful strong black woman like she has become. This is not just a biography. She really makes you believe in yourself and show you that anything is possible even at such a young age. Keep doin what you're doin LAILA!! ... Read more

Arrogant, but has cause to be
Brian Clough is one of the most enigmatic figures to grace the manager's hotseat in recent decades.As both player and manager with clubs like Middlesborough, Sunderland, Derby and Nottingham Forrest, who he guided to back-to-back European titles, Clough's arrogance was perhaps only matched by his sheer brilliance, and it is this combination of arrogance and brilliance which certainly comes across in his fairly controversial novel.

Not afraid to brutally attack his detractors - whom he has a legion of due to his brash and abrasive nature - Clough is honest, rough but writes with a passion that cannot help but grip the reader. He relates stories about some of the legendary figures of the game, both on and off the field, and gives his honest appraisal of the role of the manager as he saw it - preferring to play down the importance of 'coaching' players as such and focussing more on the true qualities of 'managing' them.

Clough is brutal, honest, funny and incisive with his comments, and this sets his book apart from so many other sporting autobiographies and makes it a worthy read.

It was just as I imagined it would be
A good read from old "big mouth". He comes across as the arrogant, self confident, single minded man that made him a great manager and great entertainment.

One of the best football autobiographies I've read. ... Read more
