Passing on the other Canseco book
If you're interested in some light reading, Jose Canseco's ex-wife Jessica has a book out on the market. In Juicy: Confessions of a Former Baseball Wife, Jessica gives us an inside look at her turbulent relationship with the disgraced slugger.
On BN.com, you find the following description: "This is the story of a beautiful young woman who falls in love with a hugely successful professional athlete, and who becomes addicted to him and to everything that his success seems to represent. It is also the story of a woman who spends the better part of ten years trying to beat that addiction, and who finds her true self in the process."
In other words, we're supposed to consider Jessica a tragic, sympathetic figure. I don't think so. She's just trying to, once again, make the most financially of Jose's fame. I'm not going to fund this gravy train. I didn't buy Jose's book, and I'll pass on Jessica's as well.
