No Spin: The autobiography of Shane Warne by Mark Nicholas, Shane Warne
4.0
I really enjoyed this book, I think Mark Nicholas did an excellent job capturing Warney's voice - gee, he gets in your head though, doesn't he?!
Bottom line: Would recommend!
3 further points (besides all the cricket stuff, which is mainly why I read and loved the book):
1. I really enjoyed how this book starts with Warney's family history and also candidly goes through his journey from wanting to be an AFL player, to not knowing where he was headed, to really working hard on his cricket.
2. It was also interesting going through all of his 'scandals' from his perspective. There were times when I did empathise or sympathise with him but you also have to filter through his words.
3. I found all the Kerry/James Packer and Eddie McGuire stuff pretty insufferable, but it was interesting to learn about his experience of being in the boys club.
Bottom line: Would recommend!
