Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Adult/High School-The legendary soccer player and cultural icon takes readers on a tour of his life, from the streets of Chingford, England, to his role as star player on the world's most famous professional soccer team, with all the struggles and stadiums, and daring exploits, in between. As the inspiration for the hit movie Bend It Like Beckham, the subject of endless tabloid fodder, and the husband of a former Spice Girl, Beckham has captured the minds and hearts of not only the people of his native country, but of those around the world as well. Dozens of excellent-quality, black-and-white and color photos are included, about half of which have appeared elsewhere. This book is sure to be wildly popular with teens.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good insight into Beckham's life at the moment, October 27, 2003
By D'Arcy (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beckham: Both Feet on the Ground: An Autobiography (Hardcover)
My review may be a little bit biased because I really like David Beckham, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I would have a liked a little bit more detail.

I read a recent review on here where someone said they were disappointed that Becks used Americanized language in the book. He should know that there was a UK and a US version of this book released, hence the use of 'soccer' instead of 'football', etc. The UK book is called 'David Beckham: My Side' and is written for the English audience. I also questioned how much of the book was penned by David or the co-author Tom Watt. I can't exactly see Becks sitting down to a computer and writing his memoirs. But who cares - it was written from his point of view and I really enjoyed being able to get inside his head.

I'd say the most interesting parts of the book were his rows with Alex Ferguson, leading to his eventual sale to Real Madrid and his feelings behind his sending off at the 1998 World Cup. I guess I wanted a book that would tell some behind-the-scenes type stuff and those were some of the highlights.

If you like David Beckham, I think you'd enjoy this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, November 19, 2003
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Beckham: Both Feet on the Ground: An Autobiography (Hardcover)
This book was very interesting when it comes to details and anecdotes. It had a lot of information about Becks and that was what made this book fun to read.
Despite how great the book is, it can be better. It can have more detail about a few things, such as Beck's role with his boss and less details on subjects such as lossing a match and how it felt.
But other than that, it is a great book and I recomment this to everyone who knows Dave and is a fan of his.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent autobiography even if you dont know soccer, December 2, 2003
By "maryparker1" (orlando, fl USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beckham: Both Feet on the Ground: An Autobiography (Hardcover)
This is a great book about David Beckham. I received it as a gift and what a fine gift. As an American, i dont know that much about soccer but i did find all the soccer stuff very interesting. He was very candid about his life including the death and kidnap threats toward him and his family that he constantly has to deal with. I found him to be an amazing , admirable person and someone whom God has given an incredible talent and athletic ability. This is a great gift for soccer fans, young and old and it is a great gift for anyone who loves autobiographies. I read the British version which is called My Side , hopefully its about the same as this American one.
