Chad Ochocinco’s biography taught me many things about life and how to become successful. In the first part of the book, Chad talks about his life when he was younger and how he escaped the life he could have easily lived in. Chad didn’t take the path of a drug dealer or criminal that his friends did. It was easier for him to become one of those things, but he said how his grandmother would never let that happen. He never burned bridges and never did anything to get himself into trouble. People

Since I have been on a bit of a non-fiction kick lately, thought I might give Chad's book a chance. It is a decent read, IF, you are a football fan and want to get some inside thoughts about what goes on in the locker rooms or during congtract negotiations, but I think someone who is not a die hard sports fan would not enjoy a lot of this book. He does have some very good stories and he does share the story of how he grew and became a successful person rather than just fooling around all the t

This book was only okay, largely because he tends to repeat himself. He makes the same points multiple times in different chapters, which gets a little tedious, especially for a book that isn't that long in the first place. Also, it came out after the 2008 season, which sucked. Since they returned to a successful form this past season, he might be in a different mental place toward his team and his game. On the plus side, he is willing to admit mistakes he feels he's made in life. Also incl

It won't surprise you to know that this book is painfully inessential. It's written in a pretty close approximation of Chad "Ochocinco" Ochocinco's speaking style, and that makes it pretty repetitive and therefore probably 50% longer than it needed to be. That being said, it did bring me around a little more to his point of view--how can you really condemn a guy as a troublemaker when he doesn't smoke, drink, do drugs or get arrested? The thesis of the book is basically "Chad i

I really like Chad John...I mean, Chad Ochocinco. He is outspoken. He is defintely entertaining, but this book isn't really all that entertaining and ULTRA repetitive. Here is what I learned:
1) He doesn't drink.
2) He doesn't do drugs.
3) No one can cover him.
Those items are repeated ad nauseum, as well as quotes from a handful of people talking about how great he is. For every good message he gives to kids, he also says possessions are so important to hi More...

Say what you will about Chad OchoCinco Johnson, he is a helluva football player and entertainer. Reading this book enlightened me to the fact that he is very dedicated to being the best at everything he does. Very outspoken both on and off the field, I like his attitude even though many don't.

Pure junk food as far as literature is concerned, but still a highly entertaining, and occasionally insightful account, which sheds light on a variety of dynamics of between players and coaches of different teams.
