A Solid Book, But Disappointing Nonetheless- By: , 18 Aug 1999 Jackie Robinson's autobiography is good, yes, but I expected much more from it. A person like Robinson has a great story & should have been able to produce a book that would knock you out of your chair. Unfortunately, Robinson spends more than half the book talking about what he did after his career was over. He should have spent at least 3/4 of the book on his playing days. Instead, he'd rather tell you about running a bank in Harlem. This isn't a bad read, but it should have been better.touching- By: , 11 Feb 1998 If you want to read this book to get an in-dept story of his baseballl career, this may not be the book for you. The 55 world series only takes up half a page. However the point of the book is well made. Robinson tells a dramatic story of the problems blacks face living in a white world. He also show his ablility to acknowledge great people whether black or white.Great Book- By: , 22 Apr 1997 This is the best book on baseballl I have ever read. Robinson is extremely frank about his experiences as the first black baseballl player. He spends more time chronicling his life off the diamond than on. If one wants to know the real Jackie Robinson, read this book. There are many books out there about Jackie's feats on the diamond, but this book gives us a real portrait of an American hero.
