A true fan would love this book!
A brilliant book, concentrating not only on Federer's career, but also looking at the boy who became the man. The author had clearly met with Federer and his family, as there are lots of little personal insights into his life. The second part of the book, studying the different aspects and sides to Federer's life in more detail is particularly enjoyable.
