I will take this up as soon as possible. I think it takes great courage to be so honest about yourself. We love you Andre! I am so happy to have found happiness! Rating: 3 / 5

Let me first start by saying that I live in the same area, which Mr. Agassi and his wife. And they have personally met them at a local market. Both are beautiful people – and not your celebrity tipici.Per about this book – I realize that this is a free country and we can say what he wants when he wants. . . . . . But I personally believe less than 100% of proceeds go to charity – this book is a total orimlighet.Varför now? I can understand that putting your thoughts on paper for therapeutic reasons – but to sell a book? His life was not perfect, the book is very well written, even as a novel – a great story – but what if everyone has paid millions for putting their life story on paper? I know lots of people who do not have a large child hood, her demanding parents, abusive parents, not drugs. I also know of people who are recovering alcoholics, abused physically, mentally and emotionally – the list is endless. It’s called life and people can choose to move forward each day and turn a negative into a positive – which Mr. Agassi has done in his life. The book? To get more money? I totally agree with. Again, I realize that it was obviously wrong – maybe it does not feel 100% satisfied bottling these feelings – but it is about money. I also know who has his own foundation – but IMO proceeds books must also go to his foundation and other various charities around the world – no less than it is pointless for me – personally. This book is a great read – but with all my heart knows – so enormous wealth Mr. Agassi – all profits go to charity. Rating: 3 / 5

I bought this book as a gift – I am shocked by the horrible quality of printing. For a guy who represented the “image is everything”, not this book does not do him any favors. The first is the up and down compared with the jacket and title on the edge of the book?!? The paper is presented as the cheapest card I have ever seen in a hard cover. It appears food bags for recycling. And the set of pages is ridiculous. Each page has a different width and it seems that was cut with a bread knife. I hope that the writing is good. Is the book than any other in this way? I can not believe that it was not mentioned in other reviews. They read about Kindle? Rating: 1 / 5

Reading this book has cemented in me that probably the heroes of the sport, and certainly all the so-called celebrities suffer from narcissism, which is an unhealthy, sometimes fatal, are focused on themselves and the fact that revovles world around him or lei.Credo has finally learned that when a book is published or a celebrity, known good parts is the whole news, reviews, etc. prior to publication. Therefore, I must stop buying these books because I already know what they are for an average dire.Andre Agassi, stinking father. Many. Many of them seem to grow up to become celebrities. He hates his father, but she loves him. Hate tennis, but she loves him. Apparently hates Brooke Shields, but also loves her and is heartbroken when she cries a lot lascia.Andre Agassi. He whims. Many of them. Hate tennis, but not exit. Lose in tennis. Vince tennis. And there you have the book. In my opinion he is suffering from a bad, almost death of the plant, and he appears to be needy so hard to feel sorry for him, his big needs can not be satisfied because they do not know what are. (Poor Stefanie.) I feel as if he has used this book to remove himself and made his junk around the player. What should we do with it other than to take a shower and move on? I will say that the foundation and the school seems to be excellent and they took him out to a large extent and it is good. I wish him the best and I personally do not think you read anything about him. Ever. Rating: 2 / 5

Andre Agassi is a very honest and anxious and I see a lot of me in IM grateful he chose to write this book and people to manage their demons were very impressed by his memory of the past, almost as if he remembers any I had thought that it requires a genius to have deep emotional scars and he is a second, I fought with myself and the abuse of both drugs im glad we won, I think the answer is Jesus, he is the love of God bless Rating: 5 / 5
