What a horrible self absorbed arrogant egomaniac Colin Jackson is. How many times does he mention is World Records? How many quotes of other people saying how great he is does he use?

There is really nothing to this book. Just a diary of events he won and reasons why he did not win - basically because he got himself injured repeatedly.

A truly dreadful read. If you have any desire to continue to like Colin Jackson, don't read it!

Very disappointed. I knew was written prior to media career but boy does he like himself. Liked him a lot as athlete and commentator but this shows him in different light.
