Patrick McEnroe

While McEnroe's stories about his years as a player, commentator, and Davis Cup coach are frequently interesting, the book is in a crazed, non chronolgical order that was disorienting. In fact, I'm not sure the book was purposefully organized at all. It's possible that it's just a string of anecedotes put in no particular order.

Usually I'm not a big fan of "for Dummies" books. I find them too simplistic, and a little condescending in a backhanded manner. This one was good, though. Full of photos and diagrams to show me (at least partially) what I've been doing wrong out on the court. Haven't had too much of a chance to get out and play any tennis since reading it, but did a few solo practice sessions and found I had improved by leaps and bounds since reading this.
