RONNIE

I loved this book and not because I’m Ronnie O’Sullivans number one fan.I could actually feel the emotions that this book created for him. So open, honest and down to earth and I have to admit it made me tear up more than once.I really hope by writing this autobiography that it has helped Ronnie be more like the person he wants to be and I for one can’t wait to see him lift more trophies.

10/10 fácil lectura. Simplemente The Ticket.

Not only a snooker book, a true life story. Well wrtitten with a true cockney accent in true "east endres" style and pattern. Didn't know Ronnie had such deep depression problems, but he fought for his happiness. Inspirational for anyone struggling with his happiness.

I met an Olympic athlete once. We talked about a very famous (non Olympic) sportsperson; a once in a generation superstar, a polarising figure. I was impressed; the Olympian less so. You don't have to act like that to be great, they said. Most people would have heard of the sportsperson whereas hardly anyone would know this Olympian. QED or post hoc ergo propter hoc?No Latin features in this book but plenty of English and lots of ups and downs. The book was published in 2003 and I'm reading in 2021. Ronnie has scaled the heights in the intervening years and is still near the summit. Will he stay there? Can he climb further? Will he descend safely or suffer a Higginsian fall?He's an entertainer and you can't look away. It's an engaging book, more engaging than Stephen Hendry's book, as different and as similar as they were as players.4 stars (out of 5)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am a huge fan of Ronnie O'Sullivan and snooker in general and it was worth reading to see what one of the most talented snooker players ever goes through on a day to day basis. This book provided good insights and I would highly recommend!
