Messi: A nice book to know about a sensational player
First the cover picture is misleading in the site. The book listed here is the newer edition updated to include the 2010-2011 season (as in the descriptions) and the cover is from the final against Man Utd in Wembley just after Messi scored to put the ahead
The best part of the book are the ones that describe the beginning of Messi, from his initial days of playing and learning in his native local clubs to his exploits in Barcelona's youth teams. The whole fiascos which may have made Messi end up in Real to him not having a career in Spain and almost securing a move to UK are the most informative and interesting parts
The later parts however are not that 'necessary' for people like us who have seen the rise of this genius from a talented youngster alongside Ronaldinho & Co. to become one of the greatest players to ever have played the game!
Id give this book 3 and a half stars out of 5 (Though theres no option of a half star out here)
Recommended for all fans who want to know the beginnings of this tremendous player!
