Popular sports book author Matt Christopher has written a fast-paced, readable biography of basketball star Michael Jordan that takes him from childhood to his return to professional basketball from baseball in 1995. Jordan comes across as hard-working, unassuming and generous, despite his huge success and amazing talent. The book doesn't leave out rough spots like the controversy over Jordan's heavy gambling or his father's tragic murder, but most of it is basketball, basketball and more basketball. A chart of Michael's NBA statistics, a list of his career highlights, and ten photographs add to the pleasure for fans.
