This is not a book that will fill you with great amounts of unknown knowledge, nor will it require heavy thinking on your part to understand. What you will get out of it is a great deal of amusement. Here are dozens of short, kind of random thoughts, little stories and anecdotes by Dennis Rodman.In summary it is kind of a way to look at his philosophy of life.

It's a life that a lot of us would like to live in a vicarious way, I say vicarious because it appears to be a life that I don't think I could handle. In between the stories of what happened, there's a bit of insight into the way the man thinks. He's lived the life that he says he wanted, yet the desparate urge to get back to the NBA comes through. Born in May of 1961, he's now approaching 45 years old. He has to know that there aren't many players in the NBA that are that old. It will be interested to see what he does in future years.

I found the book a mix of sad, funny, and poignant. All you can say is 'good luck.'

What a fun book! Rodman has always been colorful, but this book allows you to step into his mind, and try to understand where he is coming from when he does all his crazy stuff. Very entertaining- you do not have to be a basketball fan to enjoy this book. His "reality checks" are worth the price of the book.

This is a fairly interesting-ish book about one of the best players to have played the sport. However, I wonder why he wrote another book? Surely he doesn't need the money (unless it all went to alcohol). It's interesting to get inside his mind a little and see what he's all about, but it is all jumbled and mismatched and leads nowhere. I like him, but if I had read this first before buying, maybe I wouldn't have bought it. Only for true Rodman fans. Otherwise, skip it.

Timeline of the rise and fall of one of NBA's greatest. The moral of the story is the dangers of fame-- this completes the tale of one exceedingly dramatic rise and fall from way too high.
Reality Check: fame sucks.
In other news: language easily accessible, a quick, enjoyable easy read. Book in decent condition after library life.

What a waste of life! I hope he can overcome his demons!

Dennis Rodman is a Great Basketball Player&truly knows the game inside&out.also a Smarter cat that He often leads on.but this Book is just alot of loose thoughts that never goes anywhere. there are a few interesting moments talking His time in various spots during His Career,but nothing really new.still Dennis Rodman remains one of the most interesting Athletes Ever.

This clown said all he could say with his first book, back when it mattered, to some people, because winning basketball teams matter, to some people.
Note that it wasn't published by one of the big fat publishers. They don't expect it to sell. So don't be one of the few fools who buy it.

Without the awesome and in your face EDGINESS of "BAD as I WANNA be" Rodman's first book, with it's CONSTANT changes of FONT size for little or NO reaSON and it's very post-MODERN use of a FAULKNERIAN man-child iDIOt as its narrator, I just can't really get behind this book. Though I am all in favor of ROdMAn dying.
