A series of recollections from Viv Richards about his life and cricketing career. It's all readable enough, but it's very much in the "here's my personal perspective of events you already know about, so I don't need to describe" sort of vein. It doesn't really provide a very cohesive narrative. If you want an understanding of the overall trajectory of Richards's career, you'll probably get more out of his wikipedia page. This is very much a "personal anecdotes" kind of book.
