Juiced reviews

Reviews of Canseco's Juiced are in... Rob Neyer thinks the devil is in the details, while King Kaufman thinks it's actually a pretty good if somewhat steroivangelical. Bryan Curtis notes the proselytising tone of Juiced, as well as how different the book is from most sports memoirs: all gung-ho about the effects of steroids, rather than the usual "playing through pain" motif.

(Randomly, I learnt from the Curtis article that Jose has a little-heard-of twin brother, adding to my list of "famous people who have not particularly famous twins" - hello, Ashton Kutcher.)

I like this throwaway line from Kaufman on Canseco and Madonna:
he writes that she wanted to marry him but the whole thing was awkward and he wasn't attracted to her because she wasn't a buffed-out workout queen
Not a buffed-out workout queen? Madonna?
