The only charaster I cared was Javier Soto. Only the last 100 pages are worth reading. There were so many missing parts in the story. No depth in character. If you like sports and tennis, eatch Richard King (movie) instead of reding this book. The movie has everyting that the book couldn't.

Page turner, with great insights about nature and human connection. Powerful and emotional. Couldn't stop crying at the last chapter.
