Holding's autobiography?

[TheGreatest]

Guy's! It's been sometime and I have still not decided whether to buy one of my cricketing idol Michael Holding's autobiography "No Holding Back". I have read the review at this site, it looks like a good read but with the only 220 pages I think maybe it lacks detail. I have seen the table of contents where his playing career ends around 100 pages.

Most of you might have read it, so please let me know that is it worth reading?

It's an excellent book - it doesn't dwell on his playing career - that's covered in much greater depth in his 1993 autobiography, 'Whisperin Death', that Tony Cozier ghosted for him

Whispering Death is a great book.. the only sports autobiography I've ever read. I got it as a prize in school. The description of the over to Boycott is amazing.

No Holding Back has been sitting unread on my desk for months.I guess I'm not really a fan of his commentary

Howe angling for a quick sale to TheGreatest here. Clever stuff.

Hey does the line "You miss, I hit" get a run

 

[TheGreatest]

So, should I go with 'Whispering Death' or 'No Holding Back'?

 

[TheGreatest]

I think I'll first go with 'Whispering Death' and then 'No Holding Back'. Thanks all.

Get his first one, I assume the second book is much like his current self, a bunch of self indulgent rubbish. Although, every now and then, on commentary, he does have a go at the ICC, which I can always get behind.
