I put the Jonah Lomu Autobiography in the 'Autobiography or biograpy' section.
I decided to read this because I like rugby and i wanted to read about a famous rugby player so I read it.
I liked this because of its stories about how Jonah was trying to get into the big league of rugby union.
What i didn't like about it is thaty it was too short and i would like somethinh longer.
I learnt that its hard to get into the big league and that you may suffer many injuries.
There was nothing unsual.

I loved Jonah's blast onto the rugby field so finding out about the man behind the super star was really interesting.

What great memories he gave to every All Blac

most people are either strong, big or fast, Jonah was all three - such a pity his career was ended by his kidney problems
Good book, interesting reading, but a little bit too much rugby commentary for this non rugby head ;)
