The thing I find most interesting reading the book is that KP felt that the dressing room and Andy Flower were against him, in his view because he participated in the IPL and got bid for in the Auctions to the tune of $1.5mn and none of the other England players got a bid.
He talks a lot about his friendships with other IPL internationals and how he used to keep in contact with them, even during England duty.
What he doesn't bother with is any introspection as to why KPGenius might have existed. It was just because he was an IPL superstar. There seems to be an incredibly limited amount of self awareness with regard to the impact that he might have on the dressing room and how his behaviour might come across.
Whilst I don't doubt that there were certain factions in the ECB and Dressing room that really weren't helpful, I do wonder quite how nihilistic KP himself sometimes was. Let's face it, generally there isn't smoke without fire, so KPGenius came from somewhere, as did the behaviour he felt was directed at him.
