Unstoppable: My Life So Far by Maria Sharapova
5.0
I honestly did not expect to love this book as much as I did. I should be embarrassed for giving a five star rating to a mere autobiography: hardly high end literature.
But I'm not embarrassed.
I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN.
Despite vaguely knowing Masha's story for years, this book gave me a new appreciation of her family, her background, her tenacity, her raw talent, her uniqueness, and the incredible importance of luck.
I have grown up in the "World of Tennis" and reading this book made me slightly sad that I never committed myself to it completely (I saw parts of my younger personality in Maria). But then again, I also feel like it was a lucky escape.
