Product Description

Product Description
Blighted by a neck injury at a young age, sports superstar Jason Peter was forced to retire prematurely. In just a few short years, Peter's brilliant career was in ruins as he found himself consumed by painkillers, then crack and finally heroin. His addiction transformed him from a pumped-up athletic gladiator to a small, wispish shell of his former self. In "Millionaire Junkie", Peter tells of the lost days and nights spent prowling the streets of Manhattan, flying cross-country with high-class call girls and doing piles of heroin and cocaine. It is a visceral, ragged-edged story of true glory, self-destruction, addiction and, finally, redemption.

About the Author
Jason Peter was an NFL first-round draft pick by the Carolina Panthers, where he played for five years. He is now married and lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he co-hosts a radio programme for ESPN. Tony O'Neill is a poet and novelist, whose books include Digging the Vein and Songs from the Shooting Gallery. He lives in New York.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just a 'heads-up' to Mainstream Publishing, 18 Jan 2009
By Adrian Boyle "aboyle@gol.com" (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not so much a review, just thought I'd give a brief 'heads-up' to Mainstream Publishing, the publishers of the UK version of this book. I kept thinking it really odd that a first-person biographical account written by an American was riddled with British English. I thought OK, the book has been apparently ghostwritten by a UK writer, but surely even a professional athlete can take the time to read his own book--ie the one he is supposed to have written himself! Then I find out this is just the UK version, the book was originally released in the US as Hero of the Underground, and Mainstream has unfathomably anglicized the English. Bonehead play, there guys. Leave the language alone. It's a very bizarre experience to see British spellings come from an American voice. Now you now. While I'm here, I guess I should say something about the book, huh? It's your usual crybaby reformed druggie stuff. I happen to like that sort of stuff. If you do too, you will find this book vaguely entertaining. Though it's far, far from the best you could choose in this rather narrow genre. Oh yes, and a lot of the stuff about American football is irritating unless you happen to like American football. I skipped a couple chapters of that.
