I read this book in like a day and a half. It was very hard for me to put the book down. It kept me wanting to read more and more and more. I don't like to read books alot but my mom said it'll be the only way she saw my nose in a book and she was absolutely right. Carmelo is a very strong person inside and out and it takes courage to write down hurtful events thats happened in your life. But he survived everything and it shows. He's an amazing person to be so young and to go through a struggle so early.He deserves everything he gets.

I ordered this biography of Carmelo Anthony as a Christmas gift for my son, a serious sports nut. After fighting over who would get to read it first (his sister is a big Carmelo fan too), he dove in and began to read. Several days later my son said to me, "Mom, this is a good book for me to be reading since Carmelo had struggles as a kid, too." (My husband and I recently separated and he's been struggling with that change.)

The book hit the spot (for both my children) in every way. It is well written, has great photos, is very timely and of great interest to kids.

Highly recommended!

Great book for kids. I bought this book for a student who had won the foul shooting competition in his age group for NYS. He has not been able to put it down. He dreams of becoming a basketball star himself. I wanted him to read about someone who has achieved this dream. Very Positive Book!!

I just finished the book and i thought it was amazing. I thought it gave a lot of information about his life while teaching very important life lessons. I also learned a lot of information about Carmelo that I didn't know before. For example I learned that Carmelo's father died when he was only two. Before I read it I thought his father left him. I also thought that the fun facts at the bottom of the pages where really interesting. i really found the one about him being able to play for Puerto Rico in the Olympics really interesting. All in all I thought it was a really good book.

Carmelo Anthony is the best new nba player i've ever seen and it's great that he has shared his life story with us. After reading the book it made me like him even better and i found out i have something in commom with him my dad was puerto rican too, i didn't know that about him. Writing this book made carmelo more aprochable to his fans and it lets us know he's a real person just like you and me and that he really cares about his true fans. I love the book i can't stop reading it's awesome. The book is very inspirational he tells us to never give up and work hard for everything we want to be, he's just a great person

This book is an amazing book. For him to have shared his inner life with all of his loyal fans.The book contains 48 full pages of pictures fans will love not to mention the autobiography. I think his book helps children like me to remember the better things in life and to stay focused because as is saying goes "Halfdone isn't Done" short sweet to the point.

This new book by my favorite athlete, Carmelo Anthony, is absolutely wonderful. It is great for everything you ever wanted to know about Melo, and he provides great insight into his own life! The pictures are great, but it was obvious that he was trying to write the book specially for little kids, because the writing doesn't sound very adult. That really doesn't matter though, because all that you need to buy this book is to be a fan of Carmelo.
