i´m a little bit disapointed from the book,there is nothing really new about him,it goes all the time like "i´m not stubborn" "I hate drinking" and i have the feeling that he cant admit that he makes mistakes too and i think he cant stay with the same people a long time
Its sometimes funny too read,but like others said,its a lot repeated
I think the pics inside are very cute and the way he writes about kim is lovely
what i dont like,is the whole Brad/LTA writing,cause i think,he should be more thankful because the lta paid so much and i´m pretty sure,without brad he hadnt player so well at the beginning of 2007,but that an other story...
all in all i think its not so good,but for real hard andy fans its great

Just finished the book. It was interesting i guess. But it just seemed like a big defensive rant.

If it gets a weight off his shoulders then maybe it's worth it, might improve his game... there's wishful thinking for you.

is there anything in it like detailed info on his time on the futures, junior circuit etc

I'd be interested to read stuff like that as Andy spent a good year in the futures in Spain, Italy etc  and was one of the top 10 juniors back in 2003, had some good matches with Marcos Baghdatis....made quarters of the US Open juniors in 2003 at just 16

Slightly sensationalist, Nadal would say that about anyone because he very respectful of the other players.

Novak Djokovic reaches across the table and takes the copy of “Hitting Back”, Andy Murray’s recently published autobiography. “Very nice,” he exclaims, examining the cover with wonder, “I didn’t expect this.”

“You didn’t?” I inquire.

“No. He told me he’s not a book reader so I’m very surprised he wrote a book.”
Marian Vajda, his Slovakian coach, arrives and pulls up a chair. “I hope he is not telling you dirty jokes,” he smiles.

“No, he’s been teaching me how to speak Czech,” I reply.

“Look at this,” Djokovic announces, waving Murray’s book.

“He wrote a book!” Vajda gulps, incredulous.

“He doesn’t read a book but he writes a book,” Djokovic smiles. “It’s a nice book.”

“Oh it’s nice,” the coach agrees.
