One Saucey Book!!!! Luke E., N.Y.

This book, "Alfonso Soriano: The Dominican Dream...Come True", is a great book for anyone of any age. This book is a biography on one of Baseball's greatest rising players. I enjoyed this book very much and would recommend it to anyone. There were many reasons why I liked this book. This book was very well written and interesting even though it was a biography. Usually biographies are not that interesting and do not have that much action, that is not the story for this great biography. This book showed Soriano's struggles on and off the field. This booke had many action packed pictures that showed the pain and joy of Soriano. Every few pages that you turned, there would be a great picture which would sum up the the text the author was telling you. This book was also an inspiration to me and everyone that I have heard about that has read this book. This book showed me how someone can really go from nothing to a huge something. This book gave me inspiration to do well in life and I would recommend it to anyone even if you do not love sports this book is not only about Soriano's sports life but his real life and will give inspiration to anyone.

When's the movie?

What a great book. This book was recommended to me by a friend who said I would not be dissappointed. I certainly wasn't. The book was well written and the pictures were action packed. The author did a good job of balancing the off-the-field struggles with the on-the-field successes of one of the most underappreciated players of this or any era. I am looking forward to Cody's next book which should be loaded with stories of America's Team, The Dallas Cowboys.

One of the greatest baseball books I've ever read

Calling this book "genius" is not praising it highly enough. Cody Monk, one of the best sports writers in the world, tells a truly inspirational tale of the "rags to riches" story of Major League Baseball's best player, Alfonso Soriano. Through the hardships of growing up poor to the culmination of a dream in winning the World Series as a member of the New York Yankees, Alfonso Soriano has led a truly fascinating life. Wonderfully written, inspiring, and a captivating page-turner, "Alfonso Soriano: The Dominican Dream Come True" deserves a spot on everyone's bookshelf.

Muy bueno!

It was much better than CATS...I'm going to read it again and again. But seriously, folks...I just turned the last page of this fascinating read, and have nothing but good things to say about it. The Dominican Dream coming true... An inspiring story penned by one of the finest authors today, Cody Monk, otherwise known as "The Shakedown." I'll be the first to admit that I have an extremely short attention span when it comes to reading. Usually if it's anything longer than Cody Monk's weekly online wrestling column, my eyelids start to droop and I'm off to la-la land. Yet this story of drive & determination kept me awake at night. Very hard to put down. Discover your own dream and learn a little bit about yourself. READ THIS BOOK!
