Anyone read Willie Thorne's book and what do you make of it? I'm going to read it for the first time in the next days or so.

I was thinking of getting this too. Been meaning to for ages but never got round to it.

I need to get to know more about the man behind the legend haha.

Finished reading it earlier this evening and found it a really good read!

Seen it available to buy in snookerscene but not bought it. Worth it in your honest opinion spike?

[spike]

I would say it's worth it in my honest opinion, but bear in mind it's only 143 pages long and there are quite a few photos throughout the book. Still for any Snooker fan out there it's worth reading, and there are some interesting stories..

[RocketRoy1983]

Cheers may well purchase it then.

It is the world's shortest book, but I still have to read the second half. It isn't boring but to say that Mr. Thorne has high self esteem is an understatement and gets a bit much to hear about "me me me" at times. When he does talk about stories with friends/peers those are the better and funnier bits.

one day, i'll finish it...

Well it is about mainly about him so it's not so surprising really, but i do agree with you to an extent that happens to be more interesting at times when he's talking about others..

well, naturally all auto biographies are self involved but just feels a bit over the top. I don't think i'd discribe him a modest person after reading the book.

the little side stories make the book more enjoyable and gives it more depth, enough to pick the book up again
