Critic reviews

"Finally Free tells an amazing story. It’s not all pretty, but it’s real. This book will let you know why I’m so proud of Michael Vick and honored to call him a friend." (Tony Dungy, Former NFL head coach for the Indianapolis Colts)

Story that needed told!!

I grew up in a little town right across the New River from Va Tech. My whole family are hokie fans. Nobody had ever seen anything like what Vick was doing on a football field. It was like watching a man among boys. I remember sitting on the edge of my chair when he took “those hillbillies” to the national championship game and almost single handedly beat one of the juggernauts of college football. When he went to Atlanta, I found myself watching them more than my cowboys. He was really something to behold. Then the story of the property in Suffolk Va came out. I watched as everyone jumped off his bandwagon as the story unfolded. His is a story of how money and fame can ruin even the brightest of futures.

Must read

Salute to the king Michael Vick. Great story of second chances in redemption. Can’t wait to see what he does with the rest of his life great book

Nice story of redemption

This was a nice book. I enjoyed hearing how his life has changed dramatically through the things he has suffered at his own hand; however, I feel like he stayed away from the "things he did". I understand that may have been deliberate in an effort to focus on the restoration of Michael versus the mistakes. I would really like to have known more about the trouble to appreciate the triumph even more. None the less, it was a good book with many life lessons. Certanly something I would recommend.

A journey undergone

This is the story of Michael Vick. He's clearly not perfect but you can see the growth.

Purrty good

That he read it pretty good, and a hell of a read if you want to know the depths of mine Vicks' life

Amazing story of redemption!

I bought this book back in its first pressing in 2012. I lost the book somehow and I’m stoked that I was able to find this on audible. I became a Michael Vick fan since 1999 when I saw his performance during the VT vs Florida state game. He received the title “mr. Electric” which in watching him was electrifying. Also an Atlanta Falcons fan as well, I was jumping for joy when Atlanta drafted him first round pick in 2001. Watching him play in his nfl years got everyone excited. He was the Michael Jordan of the nfl. No one now can compare to his performance during Atlanta and Philly. Anyway this audible book puts his life in perspective and it’s an honest story of his rise and fall and rise in the NFL and in life. Highly recommend this book!

Hitting home

As an educator, this book should be adopted into a book read into the public school system. His life story is inspirational with loads of lessons and reachable moments!

This is a truly a inspiring book

I love the delivery in this book. He took full responsibility for his actions and showed with Gods help anything is possible. This is definitely a book for people who feels down and out.

Great Book

Really surprised! You only know what you hear I. The media . I have a new Love
for Michael Vick .

Redemption

This man "manned up" and lost everything, only to gain so much more through redemption.
