I am a huge Ali fan so I couldn't wait to watch this one.  I am probably a bit biased because I love all things Ali ( My Hero ).  I love that the stories were told by his family, friends and his own voice.  Must See.

loved this story when I was a pre-teen, now, it's okay. Ryan O'Neal was a hunk but I loved Ali MacGraw, she was so pretty and I loved her clothes, and her character's musicianship in the story. I've listened to the Bach piano piece more times than I can count. as a middle age woman much more aware of misogyny in the world I'm not fond of the b*tch word the Ryan O'Neal character called the Ali character cause I feel the filmmakers could've shown their story was "hip" without resorting to female name-calling. I'd rate it a 3 nowadays. Upon recent re-viewing, still cared about the characters and felt very sad when the Ali MacGraw character dies. Great movie music theme.

Ali's lifestyle is an inspiration to me. Not only have I learned quick and east breathing techniques to help me become less reactive, but her outlook on life is so honest and full of integrity that she actually makes me want to lead a more grateful and generous life. Today I bought a stranger coffee to make myself feel better. Thanks Ali - it worked!

Although an unlikely hero he is an awesome one! I love his outlook on what is wrong with people and on persevering through it all.

While I agree that these heros are very interesting (and I enjoyed the books quite a bit), I believe there is room for both the inspirational heros (superman...flash...etc.) and the darker ones portrayed by other  authors.  It seemed in the 80s that there was only room for the dark,  anti-heros, but today we have found room and reason for both.
Also, while  many of the characters in these collections are dark, grim, and quite  possibly insane on some level, others are just as inspirational as the  heros of old.
just my two cents.

Jericho Quinn is my new favorite hero (though I love Jacques, too!  He's the perfect buddy!).  The detail in Afganistan is pretty stark.  Reminds me why I Never want to go there.  Good guys are engaging, bad guys are creepy - all in all a satisfying lot!

It's true. I do. I love seeing more into his life and understanding more about his issues- issues that many people have. He's so relatable and that's why I love him.

I truly enjoy these series of books, gives you a lot of detailed vision but I only dislike on how VERY biased it is towards gender. Most of these books pertain to women through the majority (and I have a lot of these books)
So its really vexing. I want both prospective though I'm mostly a shounen artist (boy) then shojo (girl)

I love all of her music but I think this is my favorite (maybe I'm just a bit of a bad girl!)

I'm a Tony follower so I may be biased, but I'm a Tony follower and I don't BS. This man saved my life.

I loved it. But the fact that I took five classes with him in college may make me a bit biased.

I enjoyed reading this book. Yes, my wonder years were far less eventful than Ali experienced, but it made me reminisce and realize how good it was. I will never experience the social aspect of Ali's life, but it was fun to live it through her words! Thanks Ali

Oh God, i'm so in love with Dar, she does everything for Kerry, I don't know why i don't like Kerry that much, maybe its 'Cause I feel she doesn't love Dar the Way Dar loves her... its redundant, but its the Wayne i think...

There's something about the character and the way the book was written that appeals to me.

Read about two thirds of this book - 114 out of 166 pages.
I don't recommend this for the Ali fan looking for the Zen of Muhammad Ali
The book is divided into 3 sections.
Part One - Ali
Part Two - Zen Fisticuffs
Part Three - Personal Battles
In part one - a story titled My Dinner With Ali - is one of the greatest Ali stories I've ever read - this story is also in The Muhammad Ali Reader (by the way - THE BEST book about Muhammad Ali - if you're an Ali fan and don't have it - GET IT) - anyway - this story is such a great and heart warming story about the Champ - you feel like you're right there with them. It's truly inspired writing and a must read for any Ali fan and for anyone who has an idol or hero from any walk of life...it's just fantastic.
Part One is about Ali. Part Two is about Sugar Ray Leonard ( 2 articles) and Bruce Lee (1 article)- the Sugar Ray stories are good and the Lee story is interesting and sobering.
I didn't read Part Three as they are fictional stories.
My intent on getting this book was to read about Muhammad Ali - get more of Miller's perspective - as I've read a story of his before and wanted more of that.
The title and cover are a bit misleading in that it doesn't represent the whole book.
I really enjoyed the first 2 sections, but again - this wasn't what I was looking.
