Editorial Review:
A father's unique perspective sheds light on the personal and professional life of tennis great Andre Agassi in this account of the Agassi family, from Agassi's father's participation in the Olympics to Agassi's reclamation of his number-one ranking at the age of 33. Previously untold stories illuminate the maturation of the once easily rattled, flamboyant rebel to the calm, composed, humble tennis champion. Agassi's high-profile marriages to Brooke Shields and current wife Steffi Graf are discussed in this rags-to-riches account of an athletic, talented American family.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Could not put it down. Amazing stories after stories.
Could not put it down. Amazing stories after stories. However, book is from the dad's perspective, which I knew to begin with.
Rating: - Sincere Reflection, insights into parenthood and family.
This is a book about Mike Agassi and his family. Mike looks back at his past and how he produced a star tennis player. Mike, is apologetic at times, and proud in others, revealing his true nature. I enjoyed Mike's character in the Agassi story and highly recommend this book for anyone interested in raising a family, as this book is more than just a book about raising tennis stars. The book offers many good insights into parenthood and family.
Rating:  - Dissatisfied
I didn't really like the book because there was not enough about Andre really. It was 95% about his father. I guess I was mislead by the title.
Rating: - Authentic and insightful
This is a great book for Agassi fans who want an inside scoop on Andre's life. Mike is a very tough guy and tells it the way he sees it. They have been through a lot. For me, this book provides justification for the admiration I have developed for Andre over the years of watching him play and following his story. The book is a beautiful tale of determination, character, soul, and ultimately, family. It is a quick read, thoroughly enjoyable, and I appreciate Mike's efforts in making it available.
Rating: - More than a good biography . . .
Being a fan of Andre Agassi, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It's a bag of mixed candies - Mike's biography, real life drama of an immigrant family, story behind Andre's "rise, fall and rise" .. and more.
If you're a tennis fan, buy this book.
Thanks to Dominic Cobello, Kate Welsh, and Mr. Agassi.
