Juiced Review

Summary: Juiced by Jose Canseco was published in 2005 and changed baseball forever. In this book, Canseco tells of his personal struggles and what he did to become a ballplayer. His story is inspirational as he was a scrawny young immigrant who became a professional baseball player. However, the meat of the story comes when he tells of steroids. Canseco rats out numerous players involved in steroids from his point of view. In the end, he admits about 90% of players used steroids during his time.

Opinions: I found this book both intriguing and disappointing. The book was fast moving and keeps your attention really well. Canseco vividly describes his life, making it easy to forget the book is about drugs. His personal experiences are interesting and sure to give you a good laugh. Overall, I highly suggest you to read the book.
