Open By: Andre Agassi

This amazing autobiography by Andre Agassi is a fascinating and inspiring book that will keep the reader from putting it down.  It starts off with Andre being a seven year old little boy wanting to do what all other little boys do.  Although he wants that, his father wants him to do nothing but tennis.  His father has his whole life mapped out.  The map is titled Tennis.
   As he grows up he does nothing but tennis.  His father is so determined at getting Andre to be a professional tennis player that they grow apart.  When Andre turns into a teenager his father sends him off to a tennis boarding school so that he can play more tennis with other amazing tennis players.  While at the school Andre turns into a very rebellious kid who doesn't want to do anything the adults say.  He quits school and starts to just play tennis twenty-four seven.  Although, he hates tennis he keeps pushing and finally becomes a well known tennis professional all over the world at age twenty-two.  He finally becomes number one in the world, and one of the best tennis players ever to play the game.  Most of all, he learned to love the game of tennis.
   I loved everything about this book.  It had so many inspiring stories about his life and his trials he went through to become the greatest tennis player he could.  I am not such a good reader and, books aren't really interesting to me, but this book was impossible to put down.  Although, the book does have some bad language, if that will bother you don't read it.  I think he wrote this book to show that it takes hard work to get to where we want to be in life, but the work is worth it even though we face many difficult challenges.
  In conclusion, this is a wonderful book for many people.  It will inspire you to work hard in life and strive to do your best.  I promise you that you will not want to put this book down!
