review 1: The book has its moments. The descriptions (Wayne) Rooney provides on the background workings of the club and its players in general are fun to read, especially the training scenarios at Carrington. It sheds light into the life of an everyday football superstar's life, although there's nothing original or fresh about it. At many points, I felt "Seen this, read that".Now to get to the cons:-Rooney repeats on every single page of this book of his desire to score goals and win matches (for Everton and Manchester United). After a while, I got really tired and it started getting under my skin. I shouted out in my head, to nobody in particular - "OK, I get it. Now quit this non-sense." The same is the case with him repeating infinitely about his passion for football and the fact... more that he needs a football to bide away time.You get the gist. Also he discusses in great detail about his temperament and he manages to bring justification to each and every controversy he has made with a ref. It felt to me as if he wanted to portray this image of "the angry young man" to his audience and gain some sympathy, because after some background checks, I understood that the book was released a few months after his infamous transfer request.He refers to Sir Alex as "The Manager". Never once in his book is Sir Alex's name mentioned. Show of respect or something else? PS: Another thing which really pissed me off was him saying indirectly of Messi being better than Ronaldo. I admit. This,last one is a personal vengeance from an avid Ronaldo fan.
review 2: Wayne Rooney...A great read into the mind that's pure football...It shows his rise as England's last street footballer to Everton and finally Manchester United where he has grown to become the Vital fulcrum that team is built on!!!Also great insights into why Wayne is so highly regarded as his team mates and his willingness to become better everyday irrespective of how good he is..Therefore a must read if you know Wayne Rooney an Manchester United!!! less
