Product Description
THE LIBRARY OF CONTEMPORARY THOUGHT
"The Masters elevated Tiger Woods to a level of fame that perhaps no athlete outside of Muhammed Ali had ever achieved. People who knew absolutely nothing about golf, cared not at all about the sport, stopped to watch Tiger play. . . . He signed endorsement contracts for staggering amounts of money. He blew off the president of the United States and Rachel Robinson, the widow of the century's most important athlete--and made no apologies for it. He didn't have to. He was Tiger. They weren't."
--from The First Coming

Horrible
19 July 2005
Format:Paperback
It should be obvious to anyone who has read Feinstein's articles and books on Tiger that he has an axe to grind. If you are looking for a fair and unbaised read on Tiger Woods - avoid this at all costs.
To the reviewer below who regarded Tiger's success as hype -- the man has 12 majors as of 2006, 2nd only to the Golden Bear and I THINK Tiger has a few more years of good golf left. If you think that is HYPE you must not think much of the other golfing greats like Palmer, Hogan, Player... I could go on... but I think Tiger is saying it better than I ever could.

QUCK READ AT GREAT EXPENSE
12 July 1998
Format:Paperback
The Library of Contemporary Thought Series is a great idea, but at nearly 9.oo a book it is steep. Feinstein's book provokes the reader with his opinions that are clearly stated and well supported. If you love Tiger, you'll hate Feinstein for bringing up the Woods' slips of fame. I found the book a quick read that provided insight in what I don't hear or read about in traditional sources.
Feinstein has it in for Tiger

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
i am a big John Feinstein fan....loved all his book on basketball and his earlier works of non-fiction on golf.....unfortunately he has either a real blind spot or severely negative bent towards Tiger and spends his time in this short space bashing him with sarcastic comments and criticism.....does tiger deserve criticism, absolutely. but Feinstein goes after him so harshly and constantly that you feel that Tiger is the victim, tough to do all things considered.
