 Lightweight Autobigraphy August 14, 2007

"Being Freddie" is little more than a series of accounts of Andrew Flintoff's role in various matches he has played since his emergence in the late 1990's as an all rounder in the mould of Ian Botham. There are no great insights or memorable anecdotes in this book from Flintoff, just summaries of his greatest matches and minor detail about his back and ankle injuries and his beery nights out with the lads.We don't get a lot of insight into his family life and upbringing. Andrew Flintoff played a significant role in helping England to some notable Test triumphs which seem to have peaked with 2005's Ashes victory. He is an exciting and talented cricketer (when fit), but this book fails to convey what makes him tick and a rounded portrait of the man fails to emerge.
 Very ordinary - huge disapointment July 13, 2007

Dont get me wrong, I'm a great admirer of the man and his cricket but for me this book was nothing more than a catalogue of events with the odd "...we had line a few beers" thrown in. For me it lacked passion and and any real insight as to what really makes Andrew Flintoff tick.
I found myself drifting off reading some of this and confess to flicking through the remaining pages of a chapter to see how much more I had to endure.
It's not great - spend your money on something like 'Fatty Bater' instead.
Dull February 19, 2007

I must confess that this bored me rigid which left me very disappointed as I was really looking forward to it.
Was left with the impression this was cobbled together as an exercise to cash in on the Ashes success (which I fully understand).
I think Freddie comes across as quite boring really.
 PRETTY GOOD January 6, 2007
Mr. C. J. Rosenberg (salisbury, wiltshire United Kingdom)
I wasnt sure whether this would be any good but i was quite surprised.it wasnt bad at all.i quite enjoyed this book, it covers his life of cricket in reasonable detail from when he played as a youngster through his club cricket days and his time in the england youth squads to the recent 2005 ashes series.it also contains the people who helped get him to where he is today and he reveals the people who hes good friends with, to the people hes not too keen on, and some of the trouble hes got in along the way.
i thought this book was pretty good and am glad its on my book shelf.

This book is fasinating, I just could not put it down. Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff is a great cricketer, and oviously a fantastic aurthor as well! It has an amazing detailded account of his playing days, and how he got into cricket at the highest level. It is great for youngsters who are looking for some inspiration, or the older members of the familey who are just looking for a good read.
The best book I ever read!
