Reviews for Reggie Jackson
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not quite as in depth as I was hoping for. A good and easy read, but most of this has been covered in other books already. I like that he doesn't resort to hero worship, but he also never condemns Reggie (or any of the other complicated characters).
