'Youth is no bar to publishing your autobiography if you are famous enough. Panesar , English cricket's new cult hero, recounts his first 25 years in Monty's Turn ...It's typically enthusiastic - he quickly recovers from his disappointment at being left out for that first Ashes Test in 2006 and gets behind his embattled team-mates - but, with his international career only just beginning, there's no sense of perspetive. For Mony-maniacs only.'
Stephen Moss, The Guardian

'Monty Panesar has become one of England’s most recognisable and popular sportsmen. It is difficult to believe that it is only 18 months since he made his international debut in a Test match against India in Nagpur. His exuberant wicket-taking celebrations and mostly missed high fives and his obvious passion for the game, have made him a cult hero with fans. He was one of Wisden’s Cricketers of the Year for 2007 and ICC rankings put him joint sixth among bowlers in the world ... In his book, Monty takes a look at his extraordinary and rapid rise to stardom.'
