In this New York Times bestselling memoir, Ray Lewis—legendary Baltimore Ravens linebacker and one of the greatest defensive players of his generation—holds nothing back on the state of football as well as his troubled childhood, his rise to athletic greatness, the storm that threatened to ruin his NFL career, and the devastating injury that nearly cost him a final moment of glory.
Ray Lewis is undeniably one of the biggest names in football—not only for his seventeen years in the NFL, but also for the dramatic events that nearly brought his career to a halt in 2000. In his memoir, Lewis shares honest accounts of his difficult childhood and delves into the anguish and controversy that he found away from the game. But these heartbreaks gave him the courage to trust in God and continue his dream to play for the NFL and win the Super Bowl.

From a rookie player to a football veteran, Lewis has experienced everything imaginable during his football career, and has become one of the best defensive players in the history of the NFL. I Feel Like Going On is the story of his incredible journey, and a sincere look at the most popular sport in America from one of football's most revered players.

      Former NFL superstar linebacker and current ESPN football analyst Lewis, with coauthor journalist Paisner's assistance, brags his way through his life story in this self-serving, self-promoting memoir. Following a lengthy description of his difficult, impoverished, and fatherless childhood, Lewis moves on to covering in impressive detail his successful high school football and wrestling careers but, oddly, he has little to say about his playing days at the University of Miami and for the Baltimore Ravens, other than boasting about recovering from devastating injuries to lead his team to a Super Bowl win and refusing to play for a college coach who wanted to make Lewis, then an incoming freshman, actually earn a starting position. Without a trace of humility or gratitude, Lewis sanctimoniously sermonizes about overcoming endless obstacles, boasts about his tenacity and talent, demonizes anyone who dares to doubt or disrespect him, and glosses over his controversial and reputation-shattering murder charge following a 2000 street fight. This is clearly an attempt to inspire young readers and restore his reputation, but it fails on both counts. VERDICT Light on facts yet heavy on attitude, this insubstantial and humorless, but unintentionally comical book can only be recommended as disposable light reading for undiscerning football fans.--Douglas King, Univ. of South Carolina Lib., Columbia
