Open

Andre Agassi's bio was getting such great buzz I decided to sign up on the waiting list and get it. Several weeks later, and it was worth the wait. I like tennis, but I don't really follow it and I don't understand all the terminology, but that didn't detract from the story at all. It wasn't nearly as scandalous as some recent bios I've enjoyed (Mackenzie Phillips' "High on Arrival" comes to mind) but it was entertaining and fun. The only thing I wish he'd handled a bit better was discussing his ill-fated relationship and subsequent marriage to Brooke Shields. He wasn't flat out mean or nasty, I just didn't like his characterization of it. Other than that, it was terrifically inspiring.
