Sir Charles: The Wit and Wisdom of Charles Barkley (Hardcover)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Every once in a while listeners are given the opportunity to add a true "find" to their collections: something well produced, entertaining, timely, controversial, yet fun and inexpensive. Reilly's interview with Charles Barkley fits the bill. Check it out! Rap narrative introductions, music, sound effects, all surrounding a fast-paced, far-ranging, one-on-one between sports journalist and superstar. Production values, packaging, and pricing make this hard to resist. Meet Sir Charles Barkley, the earliest declared candidate in the 1998 Alabama governor's race, a terror on the basketball court, and so much more. Not a basketball fan? No problem: if you've heard the name or seen any of his athletic shoe commercials, you'll enjoy this. Some serious talk about the sports industry, racism, and a trace of adult language round out a rewarding production. Recommended for most popular collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent book of quotes, May 14, 2007

By	Sergei Bulatov (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sir Charles : Wit and Wisdom of Charles Barkley (Mass Market Paperback)

The whole book consists of quotes from Barkley grouped by category, such as race, basketball, Phoenix, etc... I guess the other person who wrote a review is not a fan of Barkley, but this book contains some funny and witty quotes that show Barkley's strong opinions about various issues, people, etc.. If you enjoy watching Barkley on TNT I don't see why you wouldn't like this book.

If you try to read this book ( I could not ) You will know why you can buy it for a penny. And that may be over charging.
