It's been well over a year since I last read a book, but with this whole A-Rod book coming out this week, the steroids issue in baseball has piqued my interest into reading more about it. What better way to start than with the man himself, Jose Canseco with JUICED: WILD TIMES, RAMPANT 'ROIDS, SMASH HITS, AND HOW BASEBALL GOT BIG



A GREAT book that was very hard to put down. The chapters he devotes to McGwire's and Giambi's steroid use were the best for me. However, this was a rather short book (at 285 pages), basically just giving hightlights about his life. I was hoping for something a little more in-depth. I'm hoping VINDICATED: BIG NAMES, BIG LIARS, AND THE BATTLE TO SAVE BASEBALL is just that. It's 52 pages shorter but the chapters appear to be longer (JUICED had 25 chapters and VINDICATED only has 10).
