Messi! A Book Review by George 10B

The book I am going to be writing a review on is Messi by Luca Caioli.

This book is a biography about the best footballer in the world so, therefore I would recommend it to any big football fans. I really enjoyed this book because Luca Caioli has spoken to all of Messi’s family and the book describes his background very well. It also shows how practice really does make perfect! The book includes how Messi was kicking a ball from an early age. His family was poor and lived in Argentina, when Messi got home from school he would just tell his mother that he was going to play football and he would be gone till the evening. Messi’s dad coached Messi’s football team from a very young age. Messi’s family being poor, showed that it wasn’t all easy for him and he also had problems growing up . The author shows well how he grew up and would express himself by playing football, the book also includes pictures of Messi’s greatest moments as a footballer. I really enjoyed this book because it showed how much you have to work for your dreams and they can come true!

Luca Caioli also has lots of other biographies of famous footballers and their childhood which I would highly recommend. Overall this book has hooked me in and I am sure it would do the same to any other football fan out there.
