Published in 2002, media personality, celebrity fisherman and former VFL player, Rex Hunt’s autobiography covers his life up until the conclusion of the Supreme Court case in which he was suing his former agent. Along the way he describes his humble beginnings as well as his fifteen years in law enforcement which started as a cadet at age sixteen. On the surface, this is an interesting book, but it does get bogged down in the details of his various careers which may or may not appeal to the average reader. In fact, the whole book would appeal more to a Melbournian who may find more relevance in the people, places and various events mentioned. Although his character issues have long been exposed since it’s publishing, I still liked his raw, irascible (at times) and blunt outlook on life. There’s not a sign of “group think” anywhere within its pages. 3/5

Really enjoyed what Rex wrote on his football days here. When he got to his police and army days though, I found it pretty boring. This book would have been better if Rex put some of his great personality in it.
