Helpful Score: 4

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!! I tend to avoid autobiographies just because of the tediousness with which so many people recount their lives. But Agassi is a truly gifted writer, with extremely subtle life lessons sprinkled throughout his book. I loved watching him play tennis for so many reasons, and now I have an even deeper respect for him. There are a lot of "Oh, THAT'S why!!" moments for the reader, such as when and why Agassi adopted his trademark of blowing kisses to the crowd exactly 4 times as he exited the court, win or lose.

I highly recommend this read, even if you are not a fan of tennis. Agassi's feelings, fears, and obstacles are universal--for athletes AND non-athletes.
