4.0 out of 5 stars Golf's never been so interesting, August 6, 2006

By	Lois Lain (San Francisco Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews

Boy or girl, young or old, readers will love reading about Tiger Woods' inspiring rise to the top of the golf world. Overcoming racism, economic hardship, and personal limitations, Tiger leads the pack at an incredibly young age. My 9-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter and I read this together, and we were all equally enthralled and inspired by Tiger's story. It was accessible without being overly simple. We're looking forward to reading more entries in Matt Christopher's biography series.

4.0 out of 5 stars The book tells you about his life and things that happened., January 24, 1999

By A Customer

Tiger is a very fast learner. He even learned when he was 8 months old. He went to many tournaments. His father was even in the Vietnam war. I liked this book because it tells about his cool life.
