'Utterly captivating' DAILY TELEGRAPH

'Hugely entertaining' GUARDIAN

The fascinating life story of professional cricketer Kevin Pietersen, MBE, from his childhood in South Africa to his experiences as one of the leading lights in the world of international cricket.

Kevin was dropped from the England squad in February 2014, seemingly calling time on an international career that began nearly ten years earlier. The decision puzzled many observers - although the England team had failed miserably in the Ashes tour of 2013-14, Kevin was the tourists' leading run scorer across the series, and he remains the country's highest run scorer of all time across all formats of the game.

Kevin reveals all in his autobiography, telling the stories behind the many other highs and lows of his incredible career. Giving readers the full story of his life, from his childhood in South Africa to his experiences as one of the leading lights in the world of international cricket, KP is an autobiography that entertains and fascinates in equal measure.©2014 Kevin Pietersen (P)2014 Hachette Audio UK Cricket Sports Inspiring Thought-Provoking Biography

This is a very informative book about one of the greatest batsman to have ever played the game of cricket.

You also learn about how bullying in the England dressing room raged for so many years and how poorly the top management of the England and Wales cricket board managed the players and singled out certain players.

Where does KP: The Autobiography rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Englands disastrous defence of the Ashes last time in Australia was a complete shock Granted Australia are a great side but no one expected a 5-0 whitewash. In this book KP who was the leading run scorer gives his account of what happened. Yes I'm sure there are two sides to the tail, but this is an absorbing account from one of England's top batsman and with the current series on-going (1-1 at time of review), its a great accompanant to the Ashes series.

Have you listened to any of Byron Mondahl’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No

A fascinating account of his career in England, and a lot of justifications, but still a thoroughly enjoyable listen. Like him or loathe him, there are more sides to the story than the narrative we receive through the media, and their collective portrayal of him / his actions. This was his chance to get his side of the story across, with a lot of very well made points. Happy to recommend.

Really enjoyable from a comic perspective. The chapter about the Big Cheese Matt Prior is both obsessive and hilarious. So much of this book is pure Alan Partridge and I'm surprised that chapters don't end with needless to say I had the last laugh. In many ways a great player but he obviously became so focussed on his disputes with the ECB that he reduces some of his achievements such as the 2005 Ashes innings at the Oval to mere footnotes.

Hard to rate as it is such a self-parody

One of my favourite audible books so far. Honest and frank autobiography by KP, although occasionally I felt ‘I’d like to hear the other half of the story’ though.

Will certainly listen to this again.

Very good insight into KP’s thoughts.
