Book Reviews of Torres: El Nino: My Story

Book Review: The BEST illustrated story ever!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've been a fan of Fernando Torres for many years now -by far my favorite footballer- but this book is simply a real treat from a great guy. In it, Torres comes off as just an ordinary person who happens to play football because he loves it, and is really good at it too. He's a very down to earth, unassuming and friendly person. And since most of us will never actually meet him in person, he is willing to let you peek in his life as if you were having a coffee or beer with him. He takes his work very responsibly and knows fully well that he is indebted to his fans which explains I believe why he wrote this book.

This is one of those books you can leave on the coffee table. So make sure to get the hardcover edition. Hundreds of illustrations in a thick 300 pages book through snapshots of Torres' life. Like a scrapbook replete with different little stories. But beware. Although it is very informative, this is not a full-fledged autobiography from year one and so on. If you're looking for a chronological life of Torres, turn to the excellent book Torres by Luca Caioli (Ian Cruise's Liverpool number 9 is a little too dry and boring for me).

Well worth the price. A beautiful gift for any fan of Fernando Torres.

Summary of Torres: El Nino: My Story

Fernando Torres is one of the hottest properties in world football. From local Madrid idol to Kop hero and European Championship winner, he talks here for the first time about the unique challenges faced in his two seasons in England, with candid snapshots of his early years in Spain and life in the North West on and off the field. Born in Madrid in March 1984, he played for his first football team at age five as a goalkeeper and signed as a professional for Atletico Madrid at 15, making his first-team debut two years later. After 200 appearances for Atletico, he was signed for a club-record £20 million by Liverpool in July 2007, and in his debut season in the Premier League became the first Liverpool player in 12 years to score 20 goals. He made his debut for Spain in 2003, has amassed over 50 caps to date, and has played in two European Championships and one World Cup. He scored the winning goal for Spain in the 2008 European Championships Final. He has an older brother and sister, and has a current personal fortune estimated at more than £14 million.
