Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Bird, Boston Celtic forward extraordinaire, and Ryan, Boston Globe sportswriter, here conspire to address Bird's past . The result is perhaps more interesting for what the book lacks. Presented as a memoir about "overcoming obstacles," the discussions of the events that shaped Bird's life, including his parents divorce and father's suicide, his own divorce, an aborted Indiana University basketball career, and eventual superstardom, serve as mere asides to innocuous, though entertaining basketball anecdotes. The narrative is more concerned with Bird's teammates than with the motivations in his life and though the personal aspects are treated forthrightly, depth and introspection are not among the book's strengths. However, even the brief suggestions of the inner Bird make the book worth reading. Photos not seen by PW. First serial to Penthouse; Literary Guild and Dou bleday Book Club selections.

Good story by a basketball legend. Entertaining read
Wife found “Drive: The Story of My Life” by Larry Bird at a @nahantpubliclibrary 📕 sale recently. Of course she grabbed it for me & it was obviously well worth me putting a pause on my 📕 list to read it.Not the best written 📕 but definitely an entertaining read. Brought back tons of great memories from those @celtics teams with Larry & teammates just dominating opponents.Larry does have a great life story that I can appreciate more now than I would have when this 📖 was published.Started on November 19, 2022 & finished on December 7, 2022 - 18 days.

Grossly overwritten. Hard to hear Larry Bird's voice thru the ghost-writer. Hard to get to know the real man. Still, some good stories and opinions inside. Bird is a great man whose life-story is worth telling.
