Super Exclusive book on Sachin Tendulkar (Little Master Blaster). This book contains 83 interviews by eminent personality on what Sachin means to them. Words by Greg Chappell, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and some other interesting aspects about Sachin life & cricket. Gary Kristen exposes how the Little Master prepares for each game.
If there was an option to give it zero stars, I would. Without doubt, the worst book I've read, ever! During the lead up to the world cup, several books came out about Sachin Tendulkar. In fact, flipkart.com created a separate genre in his name. This seemed to be yet another that jumped on the bandwagon.
But I bought it. Because it promised an autograph on the first page. Only much later did I find out it was the author's autograph.
To even get an opportunity to write about the incredible journey of a child prodigy (with temperament, talent and maturity that belied his age) and how he goes on to become the greatest modern batsman the world has seen, is a blessing by itself. The author goes on to abuse that privilege by writing it like an article in a hindi gossip magazine. I cannot emphasize my disappointment enough. I'll stop before this review gets any worse.
Impressive book, a delight for all Sachin fans. It has a lot of unheard incidents from Sachin's life. The book covers everything from his childhood days of Sharadashram Vidyamandir to his stint as captain and much more. You may find it lengthy but a must read for all Sachin fans.
