This book is the best. It felt so down-to-earth. You feel like you know he williams sisters. I truly disagree with the person who talked about this book being about Jehovah's Witness. They don't encourage reades in any way to become a Jehovahs Witness. This is such a good book, I don't see how anyone could bad-mouth it. I had the good fortune to meet Venus, and I'm not lying i swear, and she is so nice and friendly. She gives off such a good vibe. THIS IS A GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!!!!! BUY IT PLEASE!!!!!!!

Open: An Autobiography

Almost any reader, I imagine, will be captivated by this fine book, which artfully details the evolution of one of the more complex, engaging public personalities around today. At its core, this book is about love, about finding peace through giving to others, about the obstacles that prevent one from tracking down a life in which they are happy. In Agassi's case, these elements play out on the big stage, in front of world, and it is enthralling to learn how incredibly far-off the public perception of Agassi was throughout his career.

Much has been said already about the events of his life--one will form their own opinion. In the end, though, this book is far more than a summary of events and thoughts one can use to formulate an informed opinion of Agassi; it is an unexpectedly moving story of a maturation and the acceptance of love as the central driving force behind all that is good. "This is why we're here. To fight through the pain and, when possible, to release the pain of others."

Throughout the book I frequently stopped and thought "wow, Andre, what a writer you are"; I was, then, a little disheartened to learn for the first time in the Acknowledgment that he had been given a great deal of help from J.R. Moehringer, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer. But, as with the rest of the book (as far as I can tell), Agassi is completely honest about how their working relationship unfolded and how it came to be that Andre's name was the only one that came to appear on the book itself. I will also say that there is an occasional egotism that appears in the tone of the writing that seems to be unrecognized by the author, but, as an athlete, I think it can be truthfully said that you can't be a champion without a little innate egotism in your blood to drive you.

I devoured this book in two days, at the expense of the rest of my life. It is a great piece of artwork--both the book and the life that it portrays. I have already shipped it to several friends, and look forward to seeing if it effects them as it did me. There were points in Agassi's career when he rolled along the edge of perfection (a word I now use with great care, after the reading), but never as meaningfully so as he has in putting together "Open".
