I was the nigga and that cowboy prosecutor was going to put his spurred cowboy boots in my face.” That doesn’t quite succeed either as he seemed to me more a victim of his own foolishness. That people can respect me as a human being, to this day, is something that I have doubts about. He also portrays himself as a victim of racism:“I knew I was supposed to be convicted, that was just how the system worked. In my opinion, he doesn’t quit pull it off, although he did succeed in planting some doubt in my mind that he was guilty. He would have us believe that he was an innocent victim. Those were cold broads.”He goes into tremendous detail about his rape conviction involving Desiree Washington. He sums it by saying “I was traumatized by the relationship. He is honest about his juvenile delinquency and sums it up pretty good on page 36 saying, “I did a lot of bad sh**”.He goes into detail about his highly publicized relationship with Robin Givens and her mother. He tells about his early life of being in an alcoholic home without a father and being traumatized by beatings, something that no doubt lead to his later alcoholism and drug addiction. For the boxing aficionado, he goes into a lot of detail about his relationship with Cus D’Amato and the art of boxing. It is an honest book I think and he tells the kind of life he lived without sugar coating. That being said, let me tell you some of the highlights and my impressions. The language of the book is the language of the street and the reader should expect a lot of profanity. It is an easy read but takes several days because it is so long. It is 552 pages long not including the Epilogue. I am glad I read it and I do recommend it. I just finished Mike Tyson’s memoir “Undisputed Truth”.
