THE BOOK ENLIGHTENS THE READER OF THE REAL JOHN MCENROE

The book is a wonderful biography of one of the finest tennis players of all time. The author has revealed to the reader the real John McEnroe. A person who craved to be perfect snd even a slightest mistake resulted in a tantrum . The book tells us that after all the superbrat is not all that bad that the media makes him to appear to be. His heart is in the right place. He is charitable and most importantly extremely patriotic . His davis cup performance remains unmatched. Some on the incidents narrated in the life of John tells us about the life of a tennis pro and what the players have to go through out there. The pressures, the dissapointments and the injuries that can destroy a career for good. The book arouses your interest and is difficult to put away till you have finished reading it. I will put it down in my list of favourite titles.
