Advantages: An ok read and funny at parts.

Disadvantages: He leaves you feeling cheated because he has only lived half a life.

In my opinion many, many people write their autobiographies far too early in life in an effort to generate some easy cash and for me Stephen Gerrard did exactly that when he wrote his.

Surely his motive could not have been money though because as a premiership footballer playing for Liverpool he certainly could not need extra money.

Don`t get me wrong the book was not a bad read but it just seemed as if he was wringing every ounce of information out of every story to get enough to fill the pages.

Autobiographies should be written by people who have lived their life, not by people that are still wet behind the ears.

If he had waited till his career as a player was over and he perhaps had managed a top team then this would have been a great ending to a book which left me feeling cheated in a way because he is telling of his life story and he has not lived half of the time I have.

I am glad I did not buy this book but instead borrowed it from a friend because I would term it a waste of money even though it was an ok read.

I am sure he will write another book and probably go over most of this stuff again much later in his career,I might not be around to read it but it has to have more substance than this one did.

Summary: There are better autobiographies out there and he will be back with more one day I am sure!
