I read this book for a report that I had to do for 9th grade english. I am not a big basketball fan, I only picked the book because it was the only one about a black man on the list. I found the book very intresting, and finished reading it in a matter of days. If you want to read a good comming of age book, this is the one to choose.

Magic is unlike any other. Some thing special, filled with twists and turns. It is amazing considering what he went threw. He goes threw the ups and downs sum how he seem to keep his head up. This book tells about the old-school player that helped pave the way for the basketball players of today. Great book for the ages.

For those seeking the limelight, a must read. Be prepared for all the pitfalls that come along with the ride to fame. Inspirational autobiography of dedication and determination. May our young people keep the thought before them, that nothing comes without full commitment. Mr. Johnson has seen the highs and lows of life. There is strength in the testimony of others.

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK. MAGIC HAS A HAD VERY INTERESTING CAREER AND PRIVATE LIFE. HE DOES A GREAT JOB OF DESCRIBING THE NEWS OF HIS HIV VIRUS IN SUCH AS A WAY THAT HE IS HONEST BUT NOT BRUTALLY HONEST. HE SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD GUY. HE DOES A GREAT JOB DESCRIBING HIS CAREER AND HIS LIFE IN DETAIL. I ENJOYED THIS ALOT, SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS ARE HIS RESPECT OF LARRY BIRD, PAT RILEY, AND VARIOUS OTHER PLAYERS AND COACHES. HE ALSO HAS GOOD VALUES AND SEEMS HUMBLE. HE IS VERY HUMAN AND ALSO HAS GREAT CHARISMA. HOPEFULLY MAGIC WILL LIVE A LONG HEALTHY LIFE. THIS BOOK IS VERY RECOMMENDED.

A great autobiography!! Magic Johnson proved in his book that despite contracting the HIV virus in '91, his life would not stop because of it. A great life story of one of my all-time favorite pro players and one of the most charismatic basketball players ever!!

I picked this up on the cheap a while back ... excellent insights into an icon. The writing is very good, and Magic is as lovely as ever. Really enjoyable reading.

This was a gift for my co-worker who is a big fan of Magic Johnson. She absolutely loved it and thanked me dearly after reading it. She recommends this book to people and so will I.

I purchased this book for my husband and he loved it. I think he read it in two days.

An enjoyable quick read that offers a lot of down-to-earth things about Magic's life. Growing up in Michigan, describing what school, family life, and basketball was like. He also delves into some of his interludes with some of the ladies, and describes the constant attention given to NBA players on the road. He writes of his HIV infection and how he initially dealt with it. For those who've even casually been exposed to Ervin Johnson on the court or via interviews, he's one of the most relaxed and even-keel people we've ever encountered. Magic is appreciative and laid-back. This will allow him to live as long as people who are not infected.
