Interesting: My Autobiography Paperback – August 1, 2016

Finally, the glorious moment of holding Steve Davis' autobiographic book in my hands, has arrived! I have been waiting for this day since I started the blogging about snooker almost five years ago.Steve invites you for a walk down memory lane and exposes his feeling of vulnerability as well as those of superiority that made him have one of the most illustrious snooker careers in the history of this crazy and colourful cue sport.From the moment that his father put Joe Davis' book in his hands, to the minute he met "The Governor" Barry Hearn, or from starring in the Pot Black series, to recording his first 147 in front of his father (who was also his coach), at Plumstead Common just a few days before his 20th birthday, Steve tells you the story in a way that you swear he's kidnap you in Dr Who's Tardis and you are back in time witnessing his every memory.I did a short review on my snooker blog, so if you want to know more about this book, I invite you here: http://snookermylove.blogspot.ro/2015/04/interesting-my-autobiography-by-steve_17.html

I really enjoyed this book. He recounts his interesting life in a very matter of fact way. He doesn't seemed puffed up at all. If he won, he says he demolished so and so, if he lost, he says that so and so wiped the floor with him. I find that attitude from a champion refreshing. A really good read. Blasted right through it. Enjoyable.

Funny and well written. A good read for snookers fans of all eras, but particularly if you watched the game back in the 80s. The book not only details the highs and lows of Steve's career but offers some interesting (no pun intended) insights on the game as a whole, it's development and the players who have made the game what it is today. Highly recommended.

Light hearted read for snooker fans

Steve is as adept an (auto)biographer as he is a master cue man. He tells his stories with sincerity, a fresh wit and complete honesty with no false modesty. His enthusiasm for the game and its players permeates every paragraph. I could hardly put this down (and I am often bored by celeb a.b.'s.)I strongly recommend this to anyone who is either a fan of Steve or of snooker in general or anyone who is looking for an honest and 'interesting' insight into the professional game and it's wiles.

Sadly, I wasn`t much of a snooker fan when mr. Davis was mopping the floor with the world`s elite players during the eighties. Therefore I awaited his biography with quite some excitement and curiuosity. I was not to be disappointed. Steve Davis has in my mind written the best snooker autobiography to this day, even though there is not much drinking, drug abuse or womanizing. He is giving the reader a vivid image of how life was like at the top, and he is brutally honest (to himself) descriebing his feelings losing big matches and finally having to admit that his time as the world`s best cueist had come to an end. Thank you Steve, for sharing, and to you snooker fans out there, buy this book! I promise you, it really is interesting!

Huge Steve Davis my whole life and loved this read.
