Cristiano Ronaldo is the world famous Manchester United and Portuguese International footballer, admired around the world for his unique style of play. Football fans recognise instantly how he dribbles the ball, but there's a great deal about him that has never been made public before. Cristiano recognises that his youth does not yet give him the right to produce an autobiography, and "Moments" does not set out to be one. It is an invitation to the reader to share with him some of the most fantastic moments of his career so far, and get to know him a little better. As well as an array of sumptuous photographs Cristiano Ronaldo gives his thoughts about his life so far, both on and off the pitch."Moments" relates the story of his love of football from early childhood in Madeira; the homesickness he suffered as a result of the move, aged 12, to a football academy in Lisbon; through to his time with Manchester United, the club which has really made him famous and turned him into a football idol at only 22 years of age. He speaks of his love of playing for his country and the love and support of his family, as well as the sad moments in his life such as the death of his father. The book also shows glimpses of him training and enjoying his leisure time, the charity work he involves himself in, as well as off-field activities in both his professional capacity and for pleasure. He hopes that through these stories, and beautiful photographs by Jorge Monteiro, you will get to know Cristiano Ronaldo a little better. As you finish reading the last line he also trusts you will have enjoyed the book with the same enthusiasm you would get from watching him play football.

Great book about a great soccer player!,

This review is from: Moments (Paperback)
Yesterday I received "Moments", and I must say that it is a great book!!!
I guess the first thing you notice is that it's a big book with all the pages printed on high quality glossy paper, and it's full of fantastic photos. Ronaldo himself has said that he is too young yet to write a real autobiography, and therefore "Moments" is not just the usual write-up of dates, facts and numbers that many footballers sell as books these days. Instead, he decided to share some of the events that happened in his life so far by writing short stories and adding numerous pictures. From his early years playing for Sporting Lissabon to winning the Premier Leage with Manchester United, from childhood dreams to his father's death, from being named captain of the Portuguese National Team to everyday routine ... this book provides a very nice glimpse into the life and mind of one of the best footballers in the world today. He certainly seems to have his head (and heart) in the right place! All of Cristianos fans will also love this book for the countless great (and previously unpublished) photos!!!

This review is from: Moments (Paperback)
When i first ordered this book I was exspecting a book about facts, scores, and championships about Cristino Rolnaldo. I was wrong...... It is basically a picture book, and no it's not a bad thing. The pictures are high quality and the pages are slick and glossy. I read the book immediately.
The book is really interesting and talks about his life and events. The places he has visited and stuff he likes to do. It even has little stuff like his favorite type of movies. Its horror I wouldn't have thought that. Also he talks about his home life and training. He goes to bed from 11-12 at night and wakes up at 6 not alot of time to sleep for a proffesional soccer player. Its a good book and he says later on in his life he will make a bigger and more complete book about his life. But for now this is probabally the best book out on the market and it's definately worth a read. CR28- Sporting Libson CR7- Manchester CR9- Real Madrid CR7- Back to the number 7 2011 season number Hopefully a good season this year!!!!!! CR7 for Life
