I have to say, I don’t like bibliographies or commercials. Business books, yes, even inspirational pices. But not a 200 page infomercial.
George Foreman’s auto biography is one small book full of anecdotes, and a distinct feel of an infomercial. We’ve all heard of his amazing grill, but he keeps bringing it up, over and over. Some of his stories are amusing, interesting at best, but far from inspirational. The good part of the book is th his values are worth thinking about. “Know Your Foe, Listen to Your Corner, Keep Answering the Bell, and Make it Good ” are all great ideas, and he tries to explore them. Unforunently, they are all buried under a pile of gleaming grills.
Reading the book was more of a task then a pleasure, and one I resented for the weeks it took me. Its a small book, but one could only read a chapter at a time, without hearing “Call now, only $29.00!” repeating in their heads.Knockout Entrpreneur is a book that seems more propaganda then literature, perhaps one that could be sold at boxing rings for a $5.00 donation, not a $20.00 hardcover. But maybe thats just becuase I don’t like boxing, or infomercials.
