My Life and the Beautiful Game: The Autobiography of Pele

Rating:
Summary: So what if he can't write that well. He's Pele!
Review: This isn't a particularly well-written book, but it's the only place you can go to get Pele talking in depth about himself and his incredible life. That alone makes it worth reading. Where else would you learn about the goalkeeper so embarrassed by Pele's ease of scoring that he (the goalkeeper) ran off the field in embarrassment in front of a crowd of 20,000 people? (Pele apologized to the goalkeeper after the game.) Anyway, the book isn't literature, but it IS history. Check it out.
