Summary: A compelling, sensitive account of the world's greatest man
Review: The Tao of Muhammad Ali is the most beautiful book that Ive ever read. On a few occasions I have laughed out loud on reading funny sections from well written books but never before has a piece of writing caused tears to run down my eyes and sent shivers running down my spine at the same time. This book is not a list of quotes and facts from the good old days with Ali. It is not a hyped up guide to one of boxing greats. It is the tale of a kick boxers devotion to the a incredible man that is perhaps even greater now than he ever was as a boxer. Davis Miller, although almost certainly without knowing it, accurately projects himself to be a sensitive, caring and courageous individual which shines through in his writing. Clearly, he has captured Ali so well due to his strong bond with him. Even though I have never met neither Ali nor Miller, I feel a bond with both of these men through this thoughtful account. Davis also gives a wonderful account of his own struggle to earn respect and to succeed as a writer. I dont know if hell ever get to read this, but if youre out there, I dont think that there are many doubts about your ability now! This book has left me with an unforgettable warm, glowing feeling because not only can I now see that Alis eternal talents and energies seem ubiquitous, but also that Davis has given Ali the delicate respect that he deserves. I would imagine that many people (including myself) dream that one day, theyll meet Ali. Obviously, this is not possible for everyone but this book will get you as close as you can get to that dream.

Summary: The Greatest About the Greatest
Review: What a wonderful read! I read this book for a university course in Scotland. This book offers the reader a refreshing approach to the study of the most influential sportsman in history. The reader can share and often empathise with the thoughts of the author as he recounts the growth of his interests in Ali and his eventual meetings with the great man. It's perhaps the closest many of us fans will ever get and provides great insight into the personality of the Greatest. A superb book!
