review 1: It actually took me a while to get through this book, not that it's hard reading, it may just be that auto-bio's aren't my thing. Being a Florida State Seminole fan my entire life I did find it fascinating to go through the life of one of my childhood idols and just a plain ole good man! I obviously enjoyed reading through FSU's glory years and hearing Bobby's side of the ending to his career there. I did feel though however, much like Tim Tebow's book, there were many times it felt like I was being preached at and just felt awkward reading it... and I'm a Pastor. Overall an interesting read if you're into college football or just want to know about one of sports greatest coaches. I think I'll stick to fiction from here on out.
review 2: I'm a Boby Bowden fan, ... moreso this was a very good book. I like him even better now. Things I especially like are his Southernness (Alabama), total commitment to God's call to coach, love for his wife and constant involvement of her in his decisions, pride in his family, honesty and openness with his life, loyalty to his schools and coaching staff, genuine care for his players(most of which I would find annoying). He really saw himself as an evangelist. He considered his team meetings as devotional times. Plus -- the book was very well written, chronological yet categorical. less
