Shane Warne: My Official Illustrated Career

There's not a lot you can say or write about Shane Warne other than what has already been discussed, but an illustrated guide to his superb career is a great idea.
Warne is not afraid to say what he thinks; he never tip-toe's around anything and minces his words. This well-presented book testifies to that. Showing his life from his early days up to recent, it is a remarkable insight into the life of the greatest spin bowler ever to grace this planet.
The photograph's of Warne in action really give you an appreciation of his contribution to Cricket, a game which surely would not have been the same without his genius.
Warne is a true cricketing great, love him or hate him.
If only the touring England Ashes side this year would have read this book before they attempted to play him... it shows how he thinks, what goes through his mind and how he gets those crucial wickets.
This book is a superb read and I can honestly say that I found it hard to put down - when I had finished the book, I just wanted more. It's brilliantly presented and is a superb read at a great price. Highly recommended - get a copy today.

Yes, he's a ladies man, and I've always tutted at his antics, such as last year's texting scandal. However, coming from Yorkshire, and with an Aussie husband to boot, I do follow cricket - its just grown on me over the years. So, I bought this book for me and my family prior to the Ashes starting as we have a LOT of sporting books in the house. The man is a superstar of the game, and seeing these pictures of him in action you can see why. The professional shots really bring those high-pressure moments where Shane has taken key wickets to life. I also liked the personal shots, amazing to find he broke his legs as a kid and that's why he believes the strength in his shoulders and arms comes from - sounds likely anyway, good to look at too girls! :-). Anyway, I'd recommend this book, as we should remember our heroes for what they are, people who excel at things we ourselves love, or would have liked to have done ourselves. My two boys love cricket and they want him battling with Freddie again. This is a book I'll be flicking through over the next few months, as hopefully we see another Ashes battle to remember. If only he'd stop dying his hair!

Honestly refreshing (5/5 people found this helpful)

FINALLY a true sporting superstar talking openly and honestly about his career to date with some wonderful pictures to accompany his words. Absolutely fasinating stuff with a great foreward by Richie lets just hope his performances this winter are'nt as good as this book. A true masterclass!!!

Brilliant pictures - a must for any cricket fan (7/7 people found this helpful)

It would be easy to dismiss this book as another empty shell - all pretty pictures and no substance. However, that is totally not the case here. It's clear that Warne (who I met at his book signing in Canary Wharf) has really put time and effort in to this. His chapters on the other Test playing nations and his career at Hampshire give a real insight in to the modern game.

We all know the man is a legend and this Illustrated book tells you what made him one.
