Publisher's summary

New York Times Bestseller

Fame. Sex. Pain. Drugs. Death. Booze. Money. Addiction. Redemption. Dizzying heights. Rock-bottom depths. Desperation and elation - sometimes in the same hour. Not to mention power...and the struggle for it.

The world knows Lamar Odom as a two-time NBA world champion who rocketed to uncharted heights of fame thanks to being a member of both the storied Los Angeles Lakers and the ubiquitous Kardashian empire.

But who is Lamar, really?

Fans have long praised his accessibility and genuine everyman quality - he is a blinding talent who has suffered a series of heartaches, setback, and loss. But until now, his most candid moments have remained behind closed doors...sometimes face-down on the floor.

In Darkness to Light, Lamar gives listeners an intimate look into his life like never before. His exclusive and revealing memoir recounts the highs and lows of fame and his struggle with his demons along the way to self-discovery and redemption. From the pain of his unraveled marriage to Khloé Kardashian to the harmful vices he used to cope - and the near-death experience that made him rethink everything about his life - this is Lamar as you have never before seen him.

Lamar brings basketball fans directly into the action of a game during the Lakers' championship years. He shares his personal account of the lifelong passion that started as one shining light in a childhood marked by loss and led to his international fame as one of the most extraordinary athletes of all time. In this profoundly honest book, Lamar invites you to walk with him through the good times and bad, while looking ahead to a brighter future.

Good story

The story was good, however I think the choice of words made no sense. This is Lamar Odams biography, told by him , therefore it should've sounded like him. The narrator was dry. Again the person narrating needed to be more street in certain parts.

Ok. Just ok.

Not a lot that you haven’t already heard/seen in the media. I was hoping for more of a true tell all. I also wish it was a few more years down the road so we could see where Lamar is at now, and WHAT he is doing to continue to be in the light instead of the darkness.

Wow

The book itself was very insightful. I liked how descriptive he was in telling various memories of his life. The only negative is the narrator. He was a bit monotone. I always like the the author to read it themselves but at least someone who reads with expression. I was able to overlook the voice and enjoy the book nonetheless.
