This book is geared toward the elementary school student. Anyone over 12 will find this book a waste of money. I am sorry I bought it.I expected a more detailed analysis of Roger Federer with much more text.

I'm a collector of anything having to do with Roger Federer so when I saw this item - I had to have it. If you have a young child interested in this tennis great - this is fantastic for them. It's easy to read, has great pictures, and will basically give you his tennis life story in about 15 pages. If you are a serious adult wanting to read about Roger, I would advise you to get some of the other books that were written about him. This particularly book that I received is geared towards children vs adults.
