Description

Philosopher, Broadway headliner, fighter, felon - Mike Tyson has defied stereotypes, expectations, and a lot of conventional wisdom during his three decades in the public eye. Bullied as a boy in the toughest, poorest neighborhood in Brooklyn, Tyson grew up to become one of the most thrilling and ferocious boxers of all time - and the youngest heavyweight champion ever. But his brilliance in the ring was often compromised by reckless behavior. Years of hard partying, violent fights, and criminal proceedings took their toll: by 2003, Tyson had hit rock bottom, a convicted felon, completely broke, the punch line to a thousand bad late-night jokes. Yet he fought his way back; the man who once admitted being addicted "to everything" regained his success, his dignity, and the love of his family. With a triumphant one-man stage show, his unforgettable performances in the Hangover films, and his newfound happiness and stability as a father and husband, Tyson's story is an inspiring American original.

Brutally honest, raw, and often hilarious, Tyson chronicles his tumultuous highs and lows in the same sincere, straightforward manner we have come to expect from this legendary athlete. A singular journey from Brooklyn's ghettos to worldwide fame to notoriety, and, finally, to a tranquil wisdom, Undisputed Truth is not only a great sports memoir but an autobiography for the ages.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A masterpiece... grimly tragic on one page, laugh-out-loud funny on the next, and unrelentingly vulgar and foul-mouthed. Reading Tyson's memoir is like watching a Charles Dickens street urchin grow up to join Hunter S. Thompson on a narcotics-filled road trip - with the ensuing antics captured on video by assorted paparazzi.” (Hector Tobar, Los Angeles Times)

Undisputed Truth is raw, powerful and disturbing - a head-spinning take on Mr. Tyson's life…Unlike other sports memoirists, he doesn't pull punches, offering up slashing comments on people who were once close to him. His narrative reminds us of just how far he has come from his rough beginnings, and, in a way, how close he remains to them. He had a punch like a thunderbolt from Zeus, but there have been a lot of big bangers in boxing; Mike Tyson's came with a pulsating story line like few others.” (Gordon Marino, Wall Street Journal)

“Parts of [Undisputed Truth] read like a real-life Tarantino movie. Parts read like a Tom Wolfe-ian tour of wildly divergent worlds: from the slums of Brooklyn to the high life in Las Vegas to the isolation of prison…. Mr. Tyson’s idiosyncratic voice comes through clearly on the page here - not just his mix of profane street talk and 12-step recovery language, cinematic descriptions of individual fights and philosophical musings, but also his biting humor and fondness for literary and historical references that run the gamut from Alexandre Dumas to Tolstoy to Lenin to Tennessee Williams…. A genuine effort by a troubled soul to gain some understanding of the long, strange journey that has been his life.” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times)

Repetitive.

Had a hard time finishing this book. It became very repetitive with a each chapter consisting of sex, drugs and poor relationships with everyone in his life.

A little repetitive

Interesting life for sure. I got through the whole book but just barely and skipped ahead a few times. A LOT of virtually the same stories about sex, drugs, violence, parties followed by getting in trouble. It certainly shows the pitfalls of poverty and also of excess and privilege. This book should be 1/3 as long and would've kept my attention longer.

Disappointing

To be honest, I’ve always liked Mike Tyson as a fighter. The first couple of chapters are great, the following chapters are redundant and the book gets quite boring. It is really repetitive about sex and more than anything else. It just gets beat into you that he slept with 1000’of women even when that’s not real the purpose of the chapter.

Not terrible, some really good parts

I liked the insights and inside stories about the boxing stuff for sure. And early in the book hearing about Cus and how Mike came from his younger days. After his success and issues with partying, drugs etc. the repeated accounts of sexual conquests got kinda ok’d really fast. Even if they were all true, it got boring to hear about. Would’ve liked to hear more about his time in prison, he definitely talked about it but not as many stories as I hoped for. All in all, I’m glad I got this Audible, I think Iron Mike will be remembered as one of the greatest, toughest boxers of all time. In his prime, it was awesome to watch his presence in the ring. That thick body and menacing look, and his devastating power. This book lets you know how he got to be so dominant.
