Given the subject matter, it's difficult to see how this biog failed so badly. A series of disjointed and unprobing interviews cut and pasted without getting close to its subject. It reads like the story of Messi had been already bought up by a rival publication and this was the attempt to fill the second best option. Where are Messi's words? Glad it wasn't the new book price I paid for it.
