I have never rated a book I didn’t read, but I’ll make an exception for this POS.

Vick’s story of growing up, playing football, going to prison and changing his way of life.

The constant foreshadowing is a bit much considering he is alluding to largely the same thing, but otherwise he delicately finesses a horrible crime.
As an Eagles fan and firm believer in only being punished once, Vick does a decent job trying to atone for the past. But he lays it on a bit too thick for it to be fully believable. I'm glad a relationship with God brought the author a comfort, but it seems to be used heavily in the prison discussion where are I was looking more for adjustment information. Additionally the section devoted to bankruptcy seemed to be an after thought.
Much of the text is focused on his football stats, which while impressive seems overly boastful given the goals of the text. But all-in-all given the author and the goals the book is a quick afternoon read that will give you a touch of insight into the workings of the NFL and the quick downfall of environment and oversight.
