Pele's biography has been the most entertaining and inspirational book that I have ever read. As an athlete who plays soccer, learning about how amazingly talented Pele was has made me understand that pure love for a sport, and the drive to want to win can take you a long way. James Buckley did a great job at showing the unbelievable accomplishments that Pele achieved. The book has the incredible ability to expand your view upon the sport if you like soccer. I strongly suggest this book to anyone who is a sports fan in general because it shows how a player with a strong love for the sport they play, plus the talent such that Pele had, can change the history of a sport forever. In general I did not enjoy blogging very much at all.
