The interest lies in bits and pieces. There was no pattern followed in narration. The story goes back and forth.

Not a great tribute to one of the all time greatest cricketers.

Good for light reading!

[Keerthana Shankar · Rating 2 out of 5]

Never thought I would say this - the movie is far better than the book

[ROSHNI RAJPAL · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fascinating!

[Bishwaksen Bandyopadhyay · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good but somewhat ill formed; there's not a very smooth flow or logical progression

The book has Dhoni on the cover. It is purported to be story/biography of MS Dhoni. I say purported, because in each chapter there are between 5 to max 10 paragraphs about Dhoni, the rest is full of stuff which is an exercise in showoff. Except of say a chapter or two where you get some glimpse into the life of Dhoni, most of the pages are filled with information gleaned from press conferences, press releases, previously published stories.

Frankly it is a self indulgent piece of work which gives you no new insights in to the extremely personal man that is Dhoni. What a complete let down.

The author emphasizes mostly on the politics prevailing in the BCCI and state cricket boards, than on prioritizing the hardships that Mr. MSD overcame to reach the pinnacle status in world of cricket.

I thought there can't be a worse Sports Book than the "Playing It My Way" by Sachin Tendulkar.. But this one is..
