«A good read and a good look at an athlete's thinking»
This is a well-written (ghostwritten?) book from a great athlete, and more than a memoir of substance it carries an inspirational message about athletics and motivation and an athlete's internal thought process preparing, reviewing, and re-preparing from one event to another. A quick and interesting read.

«A Different World»
Growing up as an athlete, I never had - or perhaps took - the opportunity to strive for the heights that Michael Phelps has reached. I can't imagine making the commitments he did at such early ages.
Phelps is a swim geek, and good thing, too, as from the time he was a young boy that world was his to conquer. His story is one of family, friends and lifelong commitments. His most interesting relationship is with his benevolently Machiavellian coach Bob Bowman. His only fault - apart from the DUI he apologizes for profusely - may be shilling too hard for his sponsors, but, hey, we all have our fortunes to amass.
Phelps' story is definitely one of rising out of the crowd of American life and entering the upper stratospheres. Knowing what I do after reading this book, I'll be interested to watch what unfolds in London 2012.
