Probably the Best Autobiography Ever...

2 months ago

I've always been an Andre Agassi fan. He made me get more interested in tennis. He was flashy and had a great personality. He was very charming and interesting. I've been lucky enough to see him play in person (and WIN!). How shocking to read that Andre hated tennis! This is not just an in-depth look into Andre's life, but also into the 'secret' world of tennis. There's some juicy stuff here: the 'nice' Jimmy Conners was really a first-class pr*ck; the best tennis player who ever lived… + read more

Absolutely loved loved loved this book. It is amazingly well written, captivating, and addictive: I could not put it down! I have long been a fan of tennis and Agassi himself, and I have nothing but the utmost respect for the man. This is a must read for anyone who enjoys tennis, or just wants to read an utterly fascinating story.

I thought Andre was a great guy before I read his book, and I think even higher of him now!! It was beautifully written and I highly recommend it.

Ok... Andre, I know your read these posting - so you owe me BIG TIME for this!!!! Are you ready?... This is the GREATEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN! - did you hear me Andre? THE GREATEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN.

Wonderful book. All tennis fans, and particularly those who followed Agassi´s carreer, will enjoy his autobiography. Sincere, well written and inspiring. I used to envy his tennis skills, I now envy his generosity.

Great insight into a wonderful athlete

I grew up playing tennis and watching both Andre and Steffi winning titles on TV. We only see their public side and this story really showed the more human side of professional sport. I can see now how 2 courageous and caring people got together. It also reaffirms that parents need lessons on how to raise their children. A fast and entertaining read!

Agassi has an incredibly interesting story to tell. This is an inside look at the thoughts that run through the mind of a sports professional on and off the court. Agassi's openness with his reader is shocking and admirable. Whether you like tennis or not, you will glean a great deal about human nature from this book. One of the best I've ever read.

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY?

This review is from: Open: An Autobiography (Audio Book (CD))

In my book it always is and Andre stays true to the title of his book, OPEN, perhaps naively in hindsight considering the fuss made about his meth use. But this story is far more than that. Told in an easy to read, entertaining style he describes his life on the tennis courts, his feelings about tennis, he's open about his rivals and his relationships - in a word, honest. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and found it difficult to put down. If you're a fan of Andre's it's a must read, if you're… + read more
