Barkley: A Biography

This is a very thorough biography about one of the NBA's most polarizing players. No stone is left unturned as Timothy Bella examines every detail of Charles's life from childhood to today. The author dives deep into each of Barkley's NBA seasons, and I enjoyed the nostalgia of reliving some of those playoff runs while also learning more about the behind the scenes drama I wasn't aware of as a child.Any fan of Barkley's will be a fan of this book.

Exactly what we expected from this order.

I underestimated how talented and fascinating the life of Charles Barkley was and continues to be. He’s vastly more interesting than the silly pitchman that dominates tv commercials now.

starts slow but builds to a real good finish. worth the time it will take 2 read 500 plus pages. made me want to read his other books. he steps out of the box and walks the walk

Thoroughly entertaining read by Bella, just like Barkley himself. Learned a lot about him.

I bought this book for myself. Charles Barkley is such an icon!

This book contained mostly detailed descriptions of important games Mr Barkley played in. People say "shut up and dribble" but I was hoping for much more personal information and feelings and less dribble, dribble, dribble. This book should have been about 200 pages, not 420. Most all of it was boring and you could speed read easily and not miss anything.

A most enjoyable read covering childhood to 'retirement'. Gave a new perception of Charles Barkley. Thank you Tim Bella
