Rating: - Pure class, and an insightful read
I've read quite a few autobiographries from players who are still playing, and always found them to be a little restrained, and with little to say. Carragher's book is entertaining, a little controversial (considering he criticizes some of the people who still pay his wages), but more than anything else a well-informed, intelligent and, as a result, fascinating read. I already had bucket-loads of respect for Carra as a player and that has been added to by reading his thoughts on the club, his fellow ... Read More

Rating: - A must read for the genuine football fan:
Carra writes as he plays his football. Honest, uncomprimising, blunt, confident & not afraid to share his opinions.
He is in a unique position as he was brought up in a tough working class area as a die hard blue but went through a slow & difficult transition from a blue to someone who is now totally committed to the cause of the reds.
He is honest in his assessment of his greater loyalty to Liverpool over England notwithstanding his total committment to the national side when donning ... Read More

Rating: - Real footballer writes real book
At last a real footballer has written an interesting book. Jamie Carragher has become a Liverpool legend, but if you think this book is all about Saint Jamie then you are wrong. There are sides to his character thta come out in his book, that I am not comfortable with. He admits he could have gone dwon the wrong path, and was hardly an angel in his early days at Liverpool. He is honest enough to say what he thinks about players and what he thought of the football prowess. He is not perfec and hs views may ... Read More

Rating: - Sour and sad
I'm not a Manchester United supporter, but I read Alex Ferguson's autobiography, and enjoyed it. I'm not a Liverpool supporter, but I read Robbie Fowler's autobiography, and enjoyed it. I read Shane Warne's autobiography, but I'm certainly not an Australian. In short, I read a lot of autobiographies about sportsmen whose teams I have no allegiance to, and I read them without prejudice.
I suppose if you are a Liverpool supporter you might enjoy this book, but if you're not then don't bother, it wasn't ... Read More

Rating: - A Decent Effort
This book was written by Jamie "Jimmy" Carragher and features his life story even though he's still playing football. I'm sure he will bring out an exciting second book when he's older. It's a good read about him growing up in Liverpool as an Everton fan waving blue flags out of his window and then going on to play for the Reds. Charting his fall-outs with other players and his refusal to play for England under Steve McClaren whom he labels a "wally with a brolly", this is an excellent purchase - also available ...
