technicat reviewed American Son by Oscar De la Hoya
A rags to riches story
4 stars
You have to take any autobiography with a grain of salt, especially with the number of grudges involved, but this story of an already likable athlete has a lot of honesty about his (all too comomon) mistakes made as a rising star and the (again, all too common) emotional baggage of his upbringing and the identity issues of any non-white American. This book was published in 2008 so a lot has happened since then, I'd be interested to read an updated take.
