This review is from: Everything I Needed To Know In Life I Learned In Football (Soccer): A Passage Into The Beautiful Game With Middle Eastern Accent! (Paperback)
I finished reading this easy, fun but intelligently written book thinking what a great gift this makes for this holiday! It's a gift that keeps giving....it's about real life stories that most of us identify with, then applies these memories and events to our everyday life! It brought tears to my eyes by reminding some past and current history while made me laugh when describing events that could end up being disastrous and learning lessons from it that we all can use. Love the inspirational quotes and love the humor. I strongly recommend this book for all ages.

This review is from: Everything I Needed To Know In Life I Learned In Football (Soccer): A Passage Into The Beautiful Game With Middle Eastern Accent! (Paperback)
I just finished reading this little gem of a book. It was a very easy read but I found myself taking my red pen(the one I always use to underline things I want to reread, remember and really spend time to absorb) and circle my favorite parts. Let me say there were many of them!! It is written in a very friendly conversational manner yet packs a great wealth of information about the great game of Football(Soccer) from the perspective of an ardent fan from Iran. The way the author relates and weaves in his own story of emigration, leaving his loved ones behind but never giving up on his own true identity was commendable. But it is not just about Football in Iran, it has much more to offer. The play by play in inspirational quotes as well as author's own thoughts was refreshing despite the fact I was expecting a play by play about the games ( yet I did not feel that I was short changed at all!) I even went back and watched a few highlights of the games and the football legends he spoke of and learned more than I expected. The way Nader Jahanfard related the game to politics, human relationships, personal empowerment and self-awareness through his writing style was truly a gift. It certainly is worth going back in and re reading some of the facts and certainly posting a few of the quotes for inspiration! thanks for a great read and inspiration.

Wonderful, witty and passionate writing !
It is so "honestly" written that I imagined myself there at every step ! Even if you're not a soccer fan, you will be after reading this book ! Can't wait for the sequel !
