Summary: Good insight into Beckham's life at the moment
Comment: My review may be a little bit biased because I really like David Beckham, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I would have a liked a little bit more detail.
I read a recent review on here where someone said they were disappointed that Becks used Americanized language in the book. He should know that there was a UK and a US version of this book released, hence the use of 'soccer' instead of 'football', etc. The UK book is called 'David Beckham: My Side' and is written for the English audience. I also questioned how much of the book was penned by David or the co-author Tom Watt. I can't exactly see Becks sitting down to a computer and writing his memoirs. But who cares - it was written from his point of view and I really enjoyed being able to get inside his head.
I'd say the most interesting parts of the book were his rows with Alex Ferguson, leading to his eventual sale to Real Madrid and his feelings behind his sending off at the 1998 World Cup. I guess I wanted a book that would tell some behind-the-scenes type stuff and those were some of the highlights.
If you like David Beckham, I think you'd enjoy this book.

Summary: beckham demythologized
Comment: This is a must-read for true Beckham fans or any fan of Man United. Becks has long been adored by Man United fans and the book shows us why. Although the beginning started a little slow, the reader can learn a whole lot about the backgrounds that created the man Beckham as we see him now.
Beckham's writing style can sometimes move in a direct address to the readers which some readers may find annoying. However, this just adds to an all-too-human portrait of the star himself. In this book, you will find out many things which are completely opposite of the British media depiction. Is this book a spin as a counter to the media? I doubt it. Rather, it peels away the myth surrounding Becks (and even Posh).
If you are curious as to why Beckham chose Real Madrid, how he felt after the recent two World Cup exits, what playing inside Old Trafford is like and many other Beckham issues, this is the book to get.

Summary: Beckham - both feet on the ground
Comment: This is a much better book than I expected. It is an easy and interesting read. I am almost ten years older than David Beckham, but I wanted to find out what he is really like (other than what is seen on the soccer field). He does a good job of telling his own story without blowing anything out of proportion. If you like soccer, this is a must read. Enjoy...
