Synopsis

“Diligent, detailed, and overpowering. This is not a book of conjecture: It’s one of bootstrap journalism.” —New York magazine The New York Times calls sports journalist Selena Roberts’s blistering biography, A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez, “Important…devastating…merciless.” A columnist for Sports Illustrated, Roberts pulls no punches in her tough and brilliant New York Times bestseller, an exploration of the multi-million-dollar Yankees slugger’s checkered life and career. A-Rod is an eye-opening, unputdownable look at one of the greatest—and most flawed—players in today’s game.

Goodreads review by Jacob on October 24, 2010

This book is basically an biography on A-rod, thru Selena Robert's eyes. She really does not like A-Rod. That comes out-loud and clear in the book. She paints a superficial picture of A-Rod. Most of the stuff written about A-Rod in this book relates to his use of steriods. I dislike this book becau......more
