I think that it was well-written, and the author really described Allen Iverson well. The author described how bad Iverson's childhood was, and how good of a basketball player he became. His life story was really interesting. The problem was the author stopped writing when he described Iverson's 2000-2001 year, I would think he would stop writing when Allen Iverson retired. But overall, it was a great book.
