Very fast shipment, good in great shape. It was a very short story about his fighting life. I also think him really plays himself as the victim and when he is defeted he has all kind of excuses.. He brags throught out the book about how great he is. I did enjoy this book, because I am true MMA fan. I would not recommend buy this book at retail. Please by on auction. I was really a tito fan but this book leaves much to be desire
I got this book because I've always admired Tito Ortiz for speaking his mind and taking on everyone. The book is a fantastic read. It is extremely in-depth and really shows you what it takes to survive in this world. Most of us have it so good, and this is the story of a man who didn't but embraced his culture, family and life to become one of the most recognizable faces of MMA. His clothing company alone makes him a solid business owner and able to produce a product that not only MMA fans embrace, but the entire pop culture. If you are interested in hearing about an inspriring life story, this is a great buy.
There are so few books about MMA that are not just tutorials. Tito's book is one of only a couple that are autoboigraphical. So there are only so many options if you want an inside look into the sport. He's a better fighter than a writer, so don't expect Shakespeare. You won't be mad that you read it, but I doubt you'll put it down and go "Wow, what a book!" I read Chuck Liddell's book also and I would put that one on the 'to be read' list first.
I am a big fan of Tito, but i reakky think that this is a subpar effort on his behalf. He jump around a lot and does not go into very much detail about his fights. You do get to learn a lot about his upbringing, but other than that the book is kind of boring and not as detail orientated as Chuck Liddell's book. Also, the font is large and i could be read in one or two sittings. It could have been worse, but it also could have bee a whole lot better. Not quite whgat i was expecting.
This book is like a train wreck. I don't know why I read the whole thing. I guess I thought it would get better. It didn't. After reading Matt Hughes and Jens Pulver's books this one is written horribly.
