" Mike Lowell is my favorite Red Sox - so when he wrote this book I just had to read it! Honestly, he's not much of an author, but it was a really great way to get to know his background and what it's like coming up in the ranks of Major League Baseball. If you like the Red Sox, you'd like this book! "

" Mike Lowell's story is inspirational as well as humorous, but this telling of it is hard to follow, choppy, and light on photographs. I was hoping for a more ordered, chronological tale, and didn't get it from Lowell and Bradford. Too bad. :( "

" LOVED this book. The book did jump from subject to subject in the chapters, but it was done in a neat way (that make sense?). Can't wait for Timmy Wake's to come out! If only Rob Bradford wrote that book too... "
