I thought this book was awesome. It told you about the greatest tennis player in the world. You learned about Andre's junior tennis all the way to the pro days. I bought this book because Andre is my favorite tennis player. This book takes you through the highes and lows of Andre's career. I wolud reccommend this book to tennis fans and Andre's fans.

You might not like Agassi, but you will love this book. It's really a pity Andre didn't accept to talk with the author. Nevertheless, you get an even view on Agassi's turbulent career.

Andre Agassi is without a doubt one of the most fascinating, complex tennis players in recent history---but the author, Paul Bauman, was not the one to write about him. Basically, he just took every clipping ever published on Agassi and threw it together in a book with no rhyme or reason. It was poorly organized and poorly thought-out. I would love to find an excellent biography on Andre Agassi but this book is definitely not it.

I have seen this technique before in others unauthorized bios... The writer simply goes out searaching for magazines and TV interviews featuring the star on focus, thatn releases a book without having PERSONALLY interviewd anybody related to the star!! Simply sepaking, it's almos a job of Control C, Control V !! (COPY AND PASTE!!)

Although this biography is unauthorized, it contains a lot of information and interesting interviews. This is a great book. Unfortunately, there isn't a biography on Agassi that is more recent.

This is not a great book about Agassi. It is more about his dad than Andre and the book is written, not from information gleamed from personal interviews, but mostly from other already published sources. The book does little to fill in gaps in his personal life. I don't think the author had too many primary sources for this book. Save your time and your money for the book that Andre very recently got a $5M check for - that should worth your time to read. This is not.

This book is soooooo interesting. It has lots of tips for playing good smart tennis. ... trust me its wonderful. ... like funny and interesting stuff if it was boring I would not read it. If your an Agassi fan like me this is the book for u. It gives you an up-close and personal look at your favorite Andrea Agassi. I give it 5 stars. END

This book is one of the most interesting biographies of Agassiever written. Many of its revelations ... have never been brought topublic light that I know.

However, not all of the information inthis book is reliable...

This book is full of information and an enjoyable reading, despite its shortcomings. END

Paul Bauman wrote a wonderful book about Andre Agassi called Agassi and Ecstacy. I think the book was really enjoyable to read and it was interesting. I liked it because it had a lot of interesting facts about Andre Agassi's life and tennis career. I would recommend this book to tennis players and fans of Andre Agassi. I also recommend this book for all ages of people who are interested in tennis and who like Andre Agassi. I read this book because I really enjoyed tennis and Andre Agassi. I thought it was a really fun book to read and I enjoyed writing a review on it.
