On The Chin
On The Chin written by Alex McClintock
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Don’t know where I even learned of this book, but I’m so glad it was on my list for so long, and that I’ve now read it.

A masterpiece from start to end, it’s my ideal type of story. Weaving a personal tale of achievement with respectable self-deprecation, and a fond recall of the history and essence of a sport – one that every uninitiated person has an opinion on. Alex doesn’t hide the unflattering and worrying side of boxing.

It’s all clearly described with balance, with the added authority of someone who has gone a few rounds, but didn’t need to.
