I got this book for a buck at the S.F. Library Fort Mason sale and when I picked it up I was stoaked! I had wanted to read this since it came out in 1990, and it's co-author is Dick Schaap, one of the best writers of all time.
Only problem with this book is a lot has happened to Bo Jackson since 1990. A lot. He should do an updated book. How an injury forced him to stop playing in the NFL. How he had to stop playing baseball but made a remarkable return with the White Sox. I believe h More...

This is the first multi-hundred page book I ever read. I loved Bo Jackson. I wanted to be him. I collected all his baseball cards. I held a bat over my should like Bo does in the cover. I had the poster. I had most of his posters. I longed for football pads. I bruised my leg failing to break a bat over my leg after being struck out like Bo. I liked Auburn because of Bo. I did not even know where Auburn was. I wanted a flat top like Bo. I yelled War Eagle because that is what Auburn fans did.

Its pretty obvious why I would want to read about one of the greatest two sport pro athletes ever. I still remember his shoes, nike campaigns and the picture on the front of this book.
His biography is pretty entertaining. He was a bully and grew up poor and as one of 10 kids. He injects a lot of his own perspective and thoughts as he progresses throughout his life and career. Its really quite funny.
I learned a lot about him. I'd give this a good recommendation.

Found this at a garage sale for a quarter, and thought it would be interesting. I enjoyed the stories of his childhood, and his trip to the major leagues. It's a bit self serving, but a fun read. My only complaint is that it was written so early in his career, so there is not really a sense of closure, or any information about how his career ended. I'll have to look it up on my own.

Overall, even back then, I knew this really wasn't that good of a book. Why did I rate it so high then? Well... this is seriously the first time that I can remember reading about sex in detail. Sure, there was sex ed class, but that was glossed over stuff. Bo Knows Bo was dirrrrty. Funny that I grew up a lot by reading this book.

Bo Jackson brought an attitude of confidence and high-expectation to playing football and baseball.

As a kid, I thought this was great. Just thinking about it makes me want to play with the Raiders in Tecmo Bowl and have Bo score 6 touchdowns and run for 700 yards in a game including several 80+ yard runs. I think I was the first person ever to check this out of my library and that probably made it even cooler to me.

one of the greatest sports autobiographies ever from the greatest athlete ever. after i read this book, i got an incredibly large 'bo brothers' poster that featured the 10 different bo's from that one nike commercial (steph, they're not really dectuplets).

Bo was one of my sports icons growing up so as soon as this book came out I read it. It's real and raw, so if you can handle real life issues and language and liked Bo, then this is a great read for you. If not, stay away.

Again, read this one in Middle School. For a long time Bo was my favorite Baseball and Football player.
