I didn't know anything about him so it was interesting to learn. Parts of the book seemed to skip over why he did things a certain way but that was his personality so it is hard to find fault with it.

this isn't an amazing book, but the story and facts are quite compelling. it mostly made me want to read an adult account of moe berg's life.
