Cindy Gamber: Interesting book about Serena’s early years. I really enjoyed it. I’m a big fan and would love to see her update this when her career is completed.

Amazon Customer: Love this book and give it to all my tennis playing friends! Serena, even though she utilizes a co-author, gives a refreshing first-person account of how she and Venus became the amazing tennis stars they are. Seeing how their family sacrificed and rose through the challenges of inner-city LA was fascinating, and truly inspirational.

woodenism-ed: I am a huge fan of Serena Williams, but I was more excited to purchase the book than I was while reading it. The book had good facts about her life and career, but it was very vague. I expected her to be a lot more open. My opinion may be biased, however, by the fact that I finished Andre Agassi's "Open" right before Serena's book. That book was EXCELLENT.

Westley: With 11 major titles, Serena Williams is arguably the best female tennis player of her generation, with only her sister Venus and Justin Henin challenging her for the title. As is true of most top-level athletes, Serena is beloved by many but also has a fair number of detractors (especially after some recent on-court behavior at the 2009 U.S. Open). I have long been a fan of hers; I love her emotional, aggressive style of play. However, like other players with this style (see Mary Pierce), Serena can come across as petulant and a bit of a drama queen. So I was eager to hear what she would write (with the help of Daniel Paisner) about her life and career so far.

Serena's story of growing up in Compton and becoming a world-class athlete alongside her equally talented sister Venus is so well-known that I wasn't expecting much new material, but I wanted her insights into the tale. Fortunately, Serena more or less delivers. Her self-insights aren't quite as insightful as one might hope, but given that she is still mid-career, I wasn't expecting the kind of wisdom one might receive from a Billie Jean King. Several matches and highlights of her career are detailed here; Serena...

Iveta Zacharova: This book is awesome, and I do not say it because it wrote Serena Williams, but I do say it because I understood this book wrote Serena's spirit, openly, and towards the others spirits. This book is for sure for ones that love to be buried deeply in feelings. If you cannot feel deeply the things in life, so you cannot understand completely what is this book about. If you don't have the higher level ability of perceptiveness or a sufficient level of empathy, I think then you cannot see the real value this book really has. Serena opened her heart, her feelings, her inward world, the most precious place we all have in life, to all the readers. Wow! I feel blessed that I could/can feel what she wanted to say see the message she sent when she's talking about sufferings and coming back to the glory. Reading this book so I felt more than just like a fan because I had the opportunity to feel close to Serena like a human being that kept listening with comprehension talking to its best friend. Really a great feeling. So if you want to read this book, then read it by heart and try to perceive it, because without that you'll miss the full experience and the whole message.
