"I read Love Me, Hate Me because I'm a Giants fan and a Barry Bonds fan, really. Growing up, I was -- watched the Giants, I played baseball. I was devastated when the lost the World Series in 1989; I was devastated when they lost the World Series in 2002. But every year, every spring when baseball starts, I'm excited that the season is starting. The book spans Barry Bonds' life, really; it's a biography of him. It goes into a lot of his childhood growing up, kind of trying to show how and why Barry Bonds turned out to be Barry Bonds. I liked reading about Barry Bonds' childhood; when his father, Bobby Bonds was always away and on the road, how he kind of really close with his mother and didn't know his dad very well, didn't like him, didn't really relate to him. There are interesting stories about his childhood. I also liked a lot of the just anecdotes about him and stuff with teammates in the off season. Yeah, I just liked the stories I hadn't heard. He's such a covered entity in sports news and the news in general that I just liked anything that was in the book that I hadn't heard of before. The author, Jeff Pearlman, did an incredible amount of research. He interviewed like 400 people or something like that. So I think he got a pretty thorough look at Barry Bonds' life. I think that a Bonds fan or not would read this book and enjoy it, having a good time reading it. I'd rate Love Me, Hate Me with three out of five stars. It was pretty interesting, it was fun to see Barry Bonds discussed in a little bit different way than just in the headlines; but I think the author could have done more; it could have been more full of detail and more full of new information. But it's a good overview of Barry Bonds, and who he is, and why he has become who he is."
