I loved crying through parts of Open

An absolute gem of a book. I loved this as much as Scott Jurek's 'Eat & Run', and Emily Halnon's 'To The Gorge'—all books that have impacted my life in a meaningful way. There's a reason this is one of the most loved sport biographies of all time, the writing is beautiful, light, vulnerable, emotive; I loved crying & laughing through the book, and I fell in love with Agassi as a person.
