I am enjoying the book so far, I just want to get to Messi playing for the Barcelona senior team. Currently the book is still talking about Messi childhood. Whenever its close to Messi going to Barca, the book just goes back in time and talks about Messi in Argentina. So I hope they move on from Messi's childhood already, it's getting pretty old.

Currently I am reading about Leo Messi when he was a kid playing on a team in Argentina. To be honest, I want to move on from his childhood to when he started playing on Barcelona's senior team. However, its interesting how good he was when he was a kid, he was basically a local legend already because he was so good.

I like this book so far, I didn't know much about when Messi he was a kid, but now I know a lot. The book is really long, and it will take me almost 2 months to complete. Should I keep reading this book? I like it but it will take a while to finish.

I picked this Messi biography, because I like soccer and Messi is one of my favorite players ever. I wanted to know how he became one of the best to ever do it. Something similar I read was a short biography online about LeBron James, I read it for an essay I did a couple years ago. Currently in the Messi book, he is a teenager and he just joined the academy for Barcelona.
