“The "Home Run King" and one of the best players to ever play the game of baseball. Even though he used steroids I think he is an an amazing player. I believe that he should be in the hall of fame because he has the most home runs hit in a career. This is a good book because it depicts the pros and cons of Barry Bonds.”

“An excellent book and a very extensive look into the life of Barry Bonds. While I feel that I understand Barry a little more, I still believe that his attitude fairly represents what is wrong with professional sports. The title says it all: you love what Barry brings to the game in talent and hate what he brings in attitude.”

“This book made me ooze with hate for Barry Bonds. As a sports lover, it angers me what he has done to the purity of the game and the fact he is just a giant ass. A good read and will only fuel your fire of disgust for this human being.”

“Yikes. One thing becomes very clear after reading this book: Barry Bonds is crazy. I actually came away with mixed feelings. First, he's a total jackass. Second, I feel sorry for the guy. Pearlman does an awesome job in interviewing everyone, seemingly, who ever had contact with Bonds. I'd say there was a little anti-Bonds bias that creeped in at times, but I'm almost positive anyone would have had the same trouble that Pearlman did keeping it out. Bonds just seems like a guy who couldn't figure out how to be decent. Not nice, just decent. His relentless pursuit of baseball's most hallowed record (broken on the night I write this) almost seems to stem from his overt scoffing at history and his willingness to bullshit his way through every situation presented to him.

I give Pearlman serious props for this book, and if his style is consistent through his other one, "The Bad Guys Won" then I'll check it out.”
