Ronnie the crack fiend. - By: J. Lawrence, 18 Mar 2008 
Its sad to see such a talent showing, quite unscrupulously, how to smoke crack on the front covers of his audio cd's, books & personalised tobacco tins.
Its said that he has cigarettes inserted in his snooker cue butt so he can quickley relieve the craving.
Anyway enough of the 'legend', lets review the audio cd...
In true unabridged style we find that ronnie stll has trouble reading. At first, i thought the long, pregnant pauses were for tension. I soon realised that it was one of the sound engineers whispering to Ronnie "a-p-p-l-e" as he had trouble reading of the juicy fruit.
Ronnie is very frank about his addictions. He describes the lengths he would go to to get a hit of smack "i would wait alll night outside snooker hallls in London with my cue between my legs. Sooner or later a punter would pull up & ask what i was offering. It soon got about that i was a good teacher of deep screw"
All in alll this audio cd nagged at the purest in me. I'd have much prefered it if it had been read by Brian Blessed or Simon Calllow.
Ronnie simply a 'genius' - By: Fahmida Begum, 09 May 2007 Ronnie's autobiography was a pleasure to read. He has gone through high's & lows in life & makes you wonder some of the things he has been through is quite extraordinary. Ronnie is something special not just as a snooker player but he truly is a great person. Wish him alll the best.
Kind regards

Ronnie O'Sullivan's Autobiography - By: T. Rice, 22 Jun 2006 This Book is one of the best Autobiography's I have read it is a compelling read & it never gets boring. It shows you how difficult his life was with his farther & being overweight & addicted to drugs, In this book he gets over alll of his addictions & now is one of the best if not the Best Snooker player in the World. He has a frail relationship between him & his farther, they had there ups & there downs but they love each other & that is alll that matters. This book shows how much pressure a world champion has. This is an excellent read & it is amazing considering how much hurt Ronnie went through to still become the best snooker player of alll time.
Gripping until the end - By: , 02 Feb 2006 Ronnie has been one of my alll time heroes in the snooker game & I suppose that helps when reading an autobiography.
Without doubt, he's the best player ever to pick up a cue...his amazing talent perhaps hasn't been fulfilled though until he surpasses the records of Hendry & Davies-or at least matches them.
In this book, it's obvious O'Sullivan is a troubled sole-something he admits quite freely throughout. It makes compelling reading, rather than beating an opponent at snooker there is more of a battle with himself. His depression, being overweight & drug abuse make you want to read this & cling on until the end.
The chapter where he reveals his opinion on the top players in the game (Williams, Hendry, Davies etc) is an excellent inclusion & is almost a relief part after alll the hard hitting first chapters.
His relationship with his Father is evident...they didn't see eye to eye but he loves him.
It's a compelling read that rarely let's go & the cliche of hard to put down.
Great book! - By: Cathrine Grønbech Jensen, 22 Jan 2006 This is a great book, in which Ronnie O'Sullivan tells the reader everything about his childhood, how he began his snooker career, & especiallly his depression & drug abuse.
It is a book which shows how to turn your life around, & how to become a winner again.
