Format:Hardcover
Robinson comes from poverty to having it all - success, money, life in the fast-lane, 'the flash car, the bright lights', but it gets more interesting when he states 'it is not the answer to being happy', (a bit of an understatement for having suicidal thoughts he reveals elsewhere). But then he finds true contentment and his drink / relationship problems evapourate after a spiritual rethink...
Although the high proportion of cliches makes some parts read like a GCSE essay, this only points to the genuineness of Jason Robinson's amazing tale. I'm not a fanatical fan, but this 'rags to riches' triumph has a general appeal and can only be essential reading for rugby enthusiasts.

The book is a good book for any rugby fan - Jason did well in the World Cup - but also for those wanting to know more about the impact that a real faith in a real God can have on a life.

I picked this up at about 7 pm on Boxing Day and didn't go to bed until I'd finished it. It rattles along at much the same speed as Jason on the rugby pitch - a real Billy Whizz of a book. Shame it doesn't include any World Cup memories - perhaps he'll do another one in the future.

Jason the 13th disciple
Robinson is probably the greatest player to play rugby, and both disciplines at that. I am a huge Sale sharks and Robinson fan but felt rather let down by the autobiography. Read more

Fast and fleeting just like Jason
I'm a huge Jason Robinson fan so I looked forward to reading his autobiography--of course one need not mention writing an autobiography before one's playing career is finished. Read more
