About Michael Jordan's first season with the Washington Wizards, this book is one big cliche. The author's obsession with putting the word "Air" or "Third Coming" into every other sentence is distracting at first but soon becomes pathetic, and obscures some interesting if less than revelatory narrative. Take, for example, the following: "...asking Michael if his success of the past two months proved to all the doubters that he had refilled his Air supply." Also, what's with writing a book before the story is done? Yes, there's a later paperback version with a chapter on Jordan's second and last season, but that's just a gimmick if you ask me. Wait to write the book until the story can be fully told.
