I am a lifelong diehard Mets fan so I didn’t expect myself to pick up a book about “our” arch nemesis. I always respected his play but hated that he killed us every time the Braves and Mets played. Somehow I gained a whole new, or maybe a deeper respect for him as a player and person. Well done.
I gained a whole new respect for Chipper when I learned of his opinion of Scott Boras from this book. It's a fun read for a Braves or baseball fan. He doesn't shy away from the more controversial aspects of his life, like his two divorces - although he doesn't exactly get too deep on anything. Lots of fun anecdotes from his years playing for the Braves.

I really enjoyed how well co-author Carroll Rogers Walton captured Chipper Jones's voice; having watched enough post-game and in-booth interviews, I could hear Jones in my head as I read this book.
The story is told in the straight forward and no-frill manner you would expect from Jones. Love him or hate him, this book won't change your mind about Chipper.
