Summary: Junkie turned hero? C'mon!!!
Review: (Spanish) Diego es un simbolo del narcisismo en el mundo entero. En este libro he encontrado ciertas declaraciones que hacen del Diego una persona que necesita ayuda psicologica, emocional, y espiritual.

Diego, definitely, you need Jesus Christ, the Son of God!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: O DIEGO EINAI THEOS
Review: As any true lover of football , I admire and love Maradona. I am against any comparisons with Pele, for the simple reason that Pele was an excellent player while Diego is the game itself, a unique example of uncomprimising talent. People that critise him should be aware of the fact that Diego was a true human being, and human beings are not flawless. However, Maradona did not need the help of any media or sponsors to crown himself as the indisputable king of football. Maradona was an artist and as all artists , he has vices , yet all his vices make bring him even more close to us, the people who will always love him.

Summary: Diego, The Best
Review: Diego Maradona, the world’s most offensive and creative player ever (to some considered as the best player ever), decides to tell the story of his life in an explosive award winning autobiography. The number 10 writes everything concerning his soccer career, and another few personal issues. The book also includes 3 sets of illustrated pages, including a picture of “La Mano de Dios”, and “Argentina vs. England ’86 Goal”.

“Yo Soy, EL DIEGO” is a fabulous book. Maradona writes it clean and straight, with pure words from Argentina. Diego Maradona not only enters his fan’s hearts by this autobiographical hit, but also gives a message to soccer players from around the world. Some of his great soccer techniques are revealed. Maradona starts from “Fiorito”(Buenos Aires, Argentina), where he was born and raised by a poor family. Then through “Las Cebollitas” and his best teams, where he always made people fall in love with his great goals and strong personality: Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli, Sevilla, Newell’s Old Boys, and his return to his most precious loved team, Boca Juniors.

In his times Maradona rocked the globe with his soccer, in this book you see what he felt as he accomplished dreams and scored historical goals. From “La Mano de Dios”, to his goals in “Las Cebollitas”(his first team from age 9-14 years). He also gives you a description of his 100 favorite players. His friends, his enemies, his family, everything is told here. Although “El Diego” does not talk too much about his unfortunate drug addiction, he still accepts he did wrong by this, truly an honest human being. With this great and explosive book over 300 pages, you’ll see what “El Diego…de la gente” feels, and thinks concerning his life. After writing this book, Diego Armando Maradona proved that he is a great person, father, and friend. This book promises that it will catch your attention and make you want to read until the end. You’ll want to read it again and again. I congratulate Diego for writing my favorite book so far, and give him my support and admiration.

Summary: Pero quien puede discutir....
Review: Digame alguien que lo vio jugar a Diego Maradona que el no fue el mejor jugador de la hitoria del Futbol internacional. El se demostro no solo con su selecion, como el fanfarron de Pele, pero con mas de cinco clubes alrededor del mundo. Que gracia me dio leer un libro escrito por el mejor jugador del mundo. Gracias Diego...Gracias por TODO.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truth about Diego's life from Diego's mouth
Review: Don't expect to find in this book Diego's advice about not making the same mistakes he made, or Diego explicitly expressing his point of view about a specific topic/event in his life.
This book is the life of Maradona told By Maradona, it is simply the truth told with emotions and feelings about his life since he was little until he retired. You will find a detailed compendium/compilation of facts about Maradona's life/career, told the way Diego remembers and feels these happened.
You can feel his love and devotion for football when you read this book, because throughout his life all that surrounded Diego was football.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GRACIAS DIEGO
Review: El Libro tiene cosas muy interesantes acerca de su niñez, y tiene buenas fotos especialmente en sus inicios en villa fiorito, que nos hacen sentir identificados con un pibe que surge de la nada para convertirse en el mejor. El libro simplemente refleja que aun no ha asimilado lo que le paso, fue tan grande su calidad que no supo afrontarla, no supo y no tuvo alguien para guiarlo, hay que entender que comenzo a los 15 años y practicamente dejo de ser un niño para convertirse en estrella. Yo creo que existe una gran moraleja en su vida, la cual me queda mas clara al terminar de leer este libro, y es que ni la fama,ni el dinero ni el triunfo te van a llevar a ser feliz, su grandesa con el balon fue un regalo que mas que beneficiarle, lo daño, solo espero que encuentre la felicidad y la paz que perdio a los 15 años. Quiero darle gracias por su futbol que nunca olvidare, siempre sera mi idolo y el mejor de la historia

Summary: A missing Chance to know the true....
Review: I bougth this book with the hope to find the truth, as any "argentino" i fall in love with the talent of Maradona, he was my idol, but, with the time, his image begun to change. These book has a couple nice historys of Maradonas childhood, and his first steps in the difficult world of the soccer, but, doesnt have any autocritics, any clue of how this man, who was the best player ever fall in the hell of the drugs, and the multiple problems that he has. I love autobiographies, but in this book, Diego, never said why, or how, he loose all the things that he reached with his game. I also wanna see him say, things for the children, like,"don't do these stupid things..." but i can't find any appologies, or any advice for those who are in the same situacion of him. So, the book is good, has beautifull pictures reflecting his carreer, and so many histories of his parents house, and his childhood, but the feeling is that in all the problems that he has, always was the other part fault, for example, the coach of the Napoli, or the Pope, or the former coach of the national team of argentina, Daniel Passarella, Diego pass through all these chapters as a victim, for those who follow his history with devotion, its hard to believe those things... I also found a couple mistakes for the two journalists who helped Diego to wrote this book, im talking about Ernesto Cherquis Bialo and Daniel Arcucci, for example the gift that the Napoli gave to Diego for the very first Championship wasn't a Ferrari F40, it was a Testarrosa, or a couple photo epigraph, or a couple names. I hope Diego find a cure for himself, and reach the happiness some day, and i also hope some day, he write a new book, telling us all the things that don't say in this one.

Suerte Die.

Summary: The Best player ever!
Review: Para todos aquellos que se sienten con derecho a criticar a <Maradona yo me pregunto, que han hecho ustedes en la vida? Nadie sabe lo que se siente estar donde el llego, hay que tener en cuenta el origen humilde y la escasa educacion que tenia cuando con tan solo 15 anios debuto en primera y ya desde ese momento no tuvo un segundo de su vida en paz. Ahora lo quieren poner a Pele como ejemplo, el tiene muchos puntos oscuros que por haber vivido en una epoca con una limitada trascendencia mediatica le fue mas facil ocultar.

Diego, fuerza!!! Te critican porque sos el Mejor...

Rating: 5 stars
