 INSPIRATIONAL May 12, 2008
Ms. Primrose E. Carty
I have read lots of books about abused childhoods etc as I love reading true stories. However, I have never read a book that has touched me so deeply. I have not been able to shout up about this book and I have suggested to numerous friends that they should read it. It's the most inspirational book I have ever read. I followed Michael Watson's career and watched all his fights. I remember watching the fight with Eubank and I was in shock, I still have the clippings from the newspapers the following day. Michael is a man to admire, reading what he's been through and the fact that he's not bitter and holds no anger towards anyone just shows the character of the man that so many people have grown to admire. In 1986 my brother went through a similiar thing to Michael due to a car accident and today 22 years on, he's still in a wheelchair. I admire Michael's stength, determination and his strong believe in God.
I would love to meet him and give him a big hug. I'm about to start reading it all over again.

I remember the fight, I remembered a lot of his fights and I remembered the London Marathon too.
This book takes you through the highs and lows of a very special man with no hint of malice or bitterness in his body. I wonder how he fared so well in such a brutal sport. The chapters detailing his efforts during those long days pounding the london streets brought a tear to my eyes and several lumps in my throat. Inspirational one reviewer wrote... I couldn't agree more.

The story of Michael Watson is a well documented one. Left for dead after a brutal fight against Chris Eubank - not to mention the errors of the British Boxing Board of Control - Watson embarked on an incredible rehabilitation process which defied medical science. Reading this book is a humbling experience as you encounter Watson's dignity, faith and courage with every turn of a new page. Michael Watson is an inspitational man and this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the inextinguishable flame of the human spirit.

The delayed biography of Michael Watson, was well worth the wait.
An inspirational read of how someone can overcome great diffulties and not be bitter about your fate.
The first half of the book covers his childhood and his boxing career, while the second half details his battle to recover from the terrible injuries substained in his second battle with Chris Eubank.It is a good read not only for those who know his life story but for people who aren't interested in boxing, just to learn how a strong mind coupled with determination can overcome whatever life puts in front of you.
