"John McAvoy is the greatest success story in British Justice history." -- Phillip Lee MP * Secretary of State for Youth Justice * "One of the best introductions to a sporting title you're ever likely to read. Compelling. Engaging." * SportsBookoftheMonth.com " * "As sporting stories go, the one McAvoy, now aged 33, tells in his newly published autobiography is extraordinary. He was born into organised crime." * The Daily Telegraph * "From a life sentence and sharing a prison wing with Abu Hamza, to breaking nearly every UK indoor rowing record going, John McAvoy's is the quintessential story of redemption through sport." * Row-360.com * "The story of John McAvoy is not your normal triathlon tale. This is the (true) story of how sport, and triathlon, has helped transform a convicted armed robber to Ironman. A great read - a fascinating insight into another world. Couldn't put it down." * Tri247.com *
