[Jonathon P. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading this book because it presented facts while keeping you engaged in the book. I learned a lot about Bo Jackson and I highly recommend this to anybody looking for a biography. The things that I learned about Bo Jackson include the following: Bo has a stutter so he's not very social and he wouldn't talk to the press. I also learned that Bo struggled to play two professional sports until he started training really hard. As a kid, Bo never had to work hard because he was so athletic and talented, but when he became a professional, he had to train like he never had before. All in all, Bo was an amazing athlete and he inspires me to work harder and perform my best.
