  • Easy read, but Carl doesn't do himself too many favors...
Carl Lewis seems to have been intent on rehabilitating his image (which I didn't realize was all that bad) when he set out to write his autobiography with Jeffrey Marx. The book moves along quite easily and effortlessly, and is tailor made for a plane ride or poolside, but the fact of the matter is...Carl Lewis doesn't come across as a great guy. He is possibly the greatest athlete that has competed during most of our lifetimes, with his accomplishments rivaling those of Gretzky, Jordan, and company. But he just seems kind of petty and extremely insecure. For a guy who, among other things, sets out to prove he is not gay, he just comes across as... ... ... catty? That said, his anecdotes of life behind the scenes on the burgeoning track circuit of the 1980s are interesting from a sports history perspective and in terms of how Carl Lewis himself rose to prominence. He (and Marx) definitely took the wrong approach as far as I'm concerned when they opened with a chapter where Lewis complains nonstop about that "bastard" Ben Johnson cheating and getting away with it. It's years later Carl, Ben Johnson DIDN'T get away with it, and you got the gold medal. It is not the only time Carl comes across as a sore winner. In reading the book, I also found it pretty easy to picture where Carl put his foot down about keeping something, and where the professional writer Marx reached in and touched up the final passage of a chapter or two to give it a writer's touch. I would have preferred to just let Carl loose with a pen and a typewriter. Chances are I would find him even more insecure, but hey...I would be insecure too if I had released the video for "Break it Up." ... show more
