Breaking Back: How I Lost Everything and Won Back My Life by James Blake
3.0
I love tennis and I like James Blake. He seems like a nice guy and I especially loved him putting Pam Shriver in her place for her court-side yakking during Wimbledon in 2010.
This was an interesting book, but most all of it was about his broken neck, Shingles, and his Dad dying. In fairness, the book is called How I Lost Everything and Won Back My Life, so I guess the content matches the title.
I was expecting more of a “my life in tennis” as opposed to a “Here’s why it took a while for me to get into the top 10”.
I think this would be a great book for those who were huge fans of Blake. A casual tennis fan might get a bit bored.
