I didn't know much about Herschel Walker, though I did recognize his name. His memoir is very interesting. I didn't know much about DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) and his experiences with this disorder were enlightening. I would be interested in reading other accounts. I enjoyed the faith that he shared throughout his memoir, and admired his ability to take responsibility for the choices he made and their impact on others. (
