I really wanted to like this book, but just found Bodo's collequial/jokey writing style to be completely insufferable and almost unreadable. Read DFW on Federe, and skip this one

This book had a different take then one might have at first glance. Although it described Federer and his role being the greatest of all time, it tended to focus on specific matches and other players as well.
