I really enjoyed getting to know more about Ali’s life and was shocked at how thick the book was, it felt like everything was in it and really helped pulled back the curtain so to say!

Whether you’re a novice sports fan, a die-hard fanatic or one who barely dabbles into the hobby of reading, please make this book on your extremely short list of ones to read. An incredibly well-researched book that not only dives deep for those who loves the true nature of a biography, but to remind us of a) why we love sports and b) why sports can help us better ourselves as humans in society...
Not only one of my favorite books I’ve read in the past year, but of alllllllllll tiiiiiiiiiiimes!!

Superb piece of research and fine writing style made Ali come alive in a way I had not read before, especially the later years. Such was Eig's access to nearly every living person important in the champ's life that he was in the Scottsdale, Arizona, hospital room when Ali died. I can't wait to see his collaboration with Ken Burns for their film doc on this beloved figure.

I know that this will be unpopular but I suppose I am one of the few people who never really went for Ali’s act. After this book, I am convinced he is a man who was greatly overrated as a boxer and as a “hero.” But, well-written and researched.
