I've been a fan of Fernando Torres for many years now -by far my favorite footballer- but this book is simply a real treat from a great guy. In it, Torres comes off as just an ordinary person who happens to play football because he loves it, and is really good at it too. He's a very down to earth, unassuming and friendly person. And since most of us will never actually meet him in person, he is willing to let you peek in his life as if you were having a coffee or beer with him. He takes his work very responsibly and knows fully well that he is indebted to his fans which explains I believe why he wrote this book.

This is one of those books you can leave on the coffee table. So make sure to get the hardcover edition. Hundreds of illustrations in a thick 300 pages book through snapshots of Torres' life. Like a scrapbook replete with different little stories. But beware. Although it is very informative, this is not a full-fledged autobiography from year one and so on. If you're looking for a chronological life of Torres, turn to the excellent book Torres by Luca Caioli (Ian Cruise's Liverpool number 9 is a little too dry and boring for me).

Well worth the price. A beautiful gift for any fan of Fernando Torres.

torres is such a great player i been a fan since his days in atletico .... this book is so simple yet moving it shows how one team has so much history and how talent can get you to a club like that best soccer book i hve ever read

This book will be entertaining for any Liverpool or Fernando Torres fan. He seems very grounded and humble, and the book gives us a glimpse into his past. There are nice photos, and he concentrates much more on Liverpool than the Spanish NT. He kind of skips around chronologically, but it's very easy to follow.

The book is rather short and the writing is very simple, but it's worth a read.

Torres is like an Idol to me, I haven't read the book yet, but it looks like a fantastic book, I am really excited to read it.

i have yet to read the book but there are some great pics along with the story and i'm really looking forward to reading it!!

I am a huge fan of Fernando Torres! If you are i would definitely get this book. It tells you a lot about him and how he lives. It was amazing how your picture of him changes after you read this.

Everything in this book is a lie. Torres has no class, and i wouldn't waste my time reading this unless you are looking for a nice fantasy novel.
