Dan Carter: My Story - with Duncan Greive

Recognised as the best first five-eight in the world, Dan Carter is an international legend as well as a local one. As a fan of Dan Carter I tempered my expectations for this book, and was glad I did so.

Interesting, and still worth the read, but not a lot of groundbreaking stuff in here. Duncan Grieve has done a pretty good job of finding Dan's voice in the writing, but hard to go past the decision to stop the story at the end of the RWC2019 Semifinal. That really just clips the end of the narrative.

Beyond that, Dan provides some behind the scenes details of his Canterbury, Crusaders and All Blacks teams, a bit of his family background and a torturous catalogue of his injuries and rehabilitation processes.

I honestly hadn't realised just how injured he was and how much he had to fit a few games of rugby in between injuries.

3.5 stars, rounded down.
