Critical Evaluation
On a scale of 1-10, I would this rate this book an 8 because it’s about my favorite soccer club, Real Madrid. The story provides an inside look into what it’s like to be a professional soccer player. The main character is from California and he’s complicated. He starts out doing good for his family and then becomes more selfish as the story progresses. Even though he’s more arrogant, he’s still interesting to read about because he’s living a life that no one really gets.
