"Not a big autobiography fan, but enjoyed this as a light read. Ended up thinking he's a nice guy who has got life in perspective." — Trudi (4 out of 5 stars)

" An alright read however far to much spirital guidance. Intresting but I wanted a real insight onto the street, the title is very misleading I have to say. I was expecting so much more from this book. Disapointed. "
" Was so looking forward to reading this book, but found it disappointing and confusing. "
" I found this a little disappointing. In Soul on the Street Roache gets a bit too metaphysical for my taste. Perhaps I was expecting a different kind of "soul". "
