It is can't-put-down good." - Sports Illustrated "An honest, substantive, insightful autobiography.
This literate and absorbing book is, as the title baldly states, Agassi's confessional, a wrenching chronicle of his lifelong search for identity and serenity, on and off the court." - Los Angeles Times "The writing here is exceptional. Bracingly devoid of triumphalist homily, Agassi's is one of the most passionately anti-sports books ever written by a superstar athlete." - The New York Times "Not your typical jock-autobio fare. An uncommonly well-written sports memoir. Open is a superb memoir, but it hardly closes the books on an extraordinary life." - The Wall Street Journal "Honest in a way that such books seldom are.
For Agassi helping others has instead become his life's calling. Countless athletes start charitable foundations, but frequently the organizations are just tax shelters or PR stunts. career-comeback tale is inspiring but even more so is another Open storyline. Open describes Agassi's personal odyssey with brio and unvarnished candor. Agassi's memoir is just as entrancing as his tennis game." - Time "Fascinating. An unvarnished, at times inspiring story in an arresting, muscular style. Check-it's one of the better memoirs out there, period. A New York Times Notable Book and a Forbes, San Francisco Chronicle, and Washington Post Best Book of the Year "Agassi may have just penned one of the best sports autobiographies of all time.
