“Breaking Back by James Blake, I read this book for a couple of reasons. I love playing tennis, and James Blake is one of the stronger U.S. tennis players now. He had recently helped the U.S. win the Davis Cup, so that was one reason. The second reason is the book Breaking Back wasn't about, while it uses a tennis analogy in its title, it's really not necessarily about a tennis book. It's more about a book of a relationship between a father and son, and one of the things I wish I had done in my life a little bit differently was that my relationship with my father wasn't that great. I don't know if I could have done anything more, but I actually think that maybe I could have. So the book is largely about the relationship between James Blake's father and James Blake. It really focuses on the period after I think it was 2004 when Blake had suffered an injury in Rome, and it really recounts how Blake was able to recover, rebound, and become stronger as a result of this experience of an injury and the loss of his father. I would give this book four stars out of five. I think it's a nice, readable book about a super star and his road to come back after the loss of his father and his own personal injury.”
