With the World Cup shortly to begin in England, I thought I'd get into the zone by reading the autobiography of undoubtedly one of our best players for the past fifteen years.
Prior to the book’s publication, there had been much talk about the changing of the ghost writer - from Paul Kimmage to Alan English. After finishing the book (while I lay on my bed nursing a hangover), I couldn’t help but wish I'd read a complete version of the former’s effort.

An excellent account of the life of a famous rugby player, one of the greatest ever. Brian O'Driscoll's modesty and his honesty shine through. The dedication needed to get to the top and stay there over many years, is striking.
Excellent telling of the life story of one of Ireland's Greatest Sporting Heroes. Well worth the read.
Really disappointed and I think he left a great deal out.
I felt as though he held back on some rugby incidents which the public would want to hear more about but overall it was an enjoyable and easy read.
Good account of his career, spanning the good and the bad and his emotional state during his many years as the best Irish rugby player of all time. Well written, insightful and unbiased with nothing to hide.
Brilliant book. I haven't read a biography in a long time. It was lovely learning about Brian's life a true gent and an inspiration to all.
