>> Great book for tennis fans and casual fans
I really enjoyed reading this book it was filled with great anecdotes and a lot of personal reflections on the game family and most of all the drive that keeps us all reaching for our goals I m not really familiar with the game of tennis so I got lost in some of the individual match descriptions but I did enjoy how he analyzed his game and how he talks about hating the game but he never gives up
I wish he discussed in greater length his personal battle with meth
If you love tennis definitely read this book If you enjoy sports read this as well It s a great story of a man who made something of himself despite his shortcomings and flaws

>> Amazing
Recently this book was thrust upon me by my father I am a very big tennis fan but I am not a big reader of biographies I was always more of a Sampras fan and my TBR pile is already two stories tall so I didn t really need another book on the pile Despite all of that fraternal pressure won and I decided to give it a go
I was hooked almost instantly I know Agassi had a ghost writer J R Moehringer who helped him with a lot of this but it doesn t matter It feels very authentic and is quite moving As one other reviewer wrote It s a completely unexpected trip to places you ve never been Of course I never knew most of what is in this book and I never would have guessed
This was one of those books I could not put down When I wasn t reading it I was thinking about the next chance I would get to read it I think it probably helps if you follow tennis just a little so you know most of the players but other than that this book stands on it s own as an incredible journey of growing up
I mean this book was so good I was motivated to write a review despite the fact that I don t like to write reviews So read it already
