I must confess, I didn't expect to find that Taking It From Behind is much fun. This sort of thing usually isn't, with too much being shoved in and a lack of firmness in pulling it out again. So, yes, I was expecting it to be hard to get through - but, to my surprise, I loved Taking It From Behind! It wasn't too long nor too short, nicely rounded and thoroughly enjoyable. And once it was done, I was thinking about of Taking It From Behind every time I sat down.
In summary, I would recommend that all of my friends try Taking It From Behind - I know they'll love it.

One of the beauties of reading this book, was the fact that whilst it recounts a much varied season detailing the highs and lows, there was also many vivid descriptions of incidents and experiences the author had encountered throughout his career. Therefore, it was almost like reading two books at once, the underlying story of the season coupled with Blakey's recollections of times gone by.
I found this book a very easy read and well presented.
The book's title may, of course, be attracting prospective readers who didn't quite realise it is about cricket.
