A MUST FOR EVERY REDS' FAN
Firstly, i would like to applaud Amazon for the super fast deliver and services. I patron this site in the future :)

Secondy, i would like to say that this book is really really awesome! Being a Torres fan for over 3 years, i really recommend this book to any football fans because it's really worth to read. What is really interesting is that, this book is not so boring. Meaning, interesting font sizez and colours are used unlike the normal ones found in books that make us sleepy. Torres's childhood pictures and pictures of him doing "normal" stuffs like cooking and driving is really funny. His words are clear and understandable. From his perspective, we know what he has gone through, from language and food. No matter how much he says he love Liverpool, one can feel that Torres still has a very special feeling for Athletico.

"His armband proved he was a Red, You'll Never Walk Alone, it said"
This is a really interesting book. It's not an autobiography per say, more of a mix of short stories and insights into the life of El Nino.

A good mix of pictures and quotes brighten up the glossy pages, and at this price i would recommend it to any Liverpool fans/Atletico Fans, and football fans in general. Without getting too personal Fernando gives you a good insight into his roots, the life of a modern day footballer, and a little bit about the Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez. He also talks about the charities he works with, and the difficulties of crossing from sunny Spain over to Anfield, language barrier and all.

Unless you are anti Liverpool I would recommend this book to all football fans, don't expect a thoroughly introspective autobiography, but it certainly isn't the polar opposite either. A good read from a great player and a really nice guy.

Christmas Gift
This is a beautifully produced book. As said before this is not an autobiography like Carragher and Gerrard. It is an illustrated book. The pictures are really good and the little details are beautiful
I would recommend this book as a gift for any Torres fan
