Have you ever wondered how Tiger Woods became famous? Well in this book Tiger Woods An American Master by Nicholas Edwards you will find out everything. Tiger got started at golf from his dad. Every day when Tiger's dad went to play golf, Tiger would watch from a hightchair. At 11 months old Tiger took his first shot. He used a putter his dad cut down for him. At eighteen months old Tiger learned how to putt. At three years old Tiger already had perfect form. At five years old Tiger already has shelves filled with trophies. He loved golf and knew it would be his future. Tiger signed up for a golf club as a senior. In the golf game he made his way through the beginning. He almost got a record of 62 but only got a 63. As he went farther in the tournament he could be a master. Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to read Tiger Woods An American Master by Nicholas Edwards.

This biography reads like a fast-paced fiction book, bringing you through the world of Tiger Wood's golf career with many interesting facts scattered throughout the book along with an engaging storyline that follows Tiger's life sequentially.

The book starts at the very beginning, describing Tiger's birth and giving background information on his father and mother. Already a prodigy at the age of two, the book gradually leads through the rest of Tiger's beginning career. The avid and spirited storytelling keeps the reader turning the pages. The mood is carefully set during the happy and dark moments in the book. One really feels empathy for Tiger during these moments, sharing his joy and mourning his loss. For those unfamiliar with golf terms and rules, the book does a good job of explaining Tiger's play and score so one will not be lost by the complexity of golf. The pages of color photos in the middle of the book is a neat bonus, and the author wraps up the book with satisfying extras such as a brief history of golf and a list of all the tournaments Tiger played in and the results.

In short, I recommend this book for anyone interested in golf or Tiger Woods or just anyone who enjoys reading about sport prodigies. This book would probably be best for those age 8-12.

Tiger Woods An American Master by Nicholas Edwards

Have you ever been interested in golf? Well if you have this is the book for you.

I like this book because it tells me all about Tiger's career. Another reason is I love golf.

The author's main idea was to tell us how much effort and confidence Tiger needed to play golf. The author also taught us to use perseverance.

tiger woods is the best ever i got all of his books.i love this one the best,it had the most info in it.tiger has meat my freinds sister befor because she is a pro girl golf.

This book is very well written and tells lots of information on Tiger.Nick Edwards did a good job in putting this book into a format where kids can read this book very easily.I think this book deserves 4 stars because it had a lot of information but it kind of over did what they said about Tiger.But Otherwise it is a fantabulous book.

Tiger Woods: An American master was a great book with almost everything you would want to know about Tiger and his lifetime of golf. The only reason why this book didn't get 5 stars is because the author, Nick Edwards, kind of over-did what he was sayin about Tiger, and believe it or not, made Tiger sound better than he really is (my personal opinion, although some of you may think you cant say enough about the man). But a well- written book that deserves to be read.
