"Diligent, detailed, and overpowering. This is not a book of conjecture: It's one of bootstrap journalism."

—New York magazine

The New York Times calls sports journalist Selena Roberts's blistering biography, A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez, "Important...devastating...merciless." A columnist for Sports Illustrated, Roberts pulls no punches in her tough and brilliant New York Times bestseller, an exploration of the multi-million-dollar Yankees slugger's checkered life and career. A-Rod is an eye-opening, unputdownable look at one of the greatest—and most flawed—players in today's game.

      The author examines the career and personal life--or, more appropriately, lives--of Alex Rodriguez, one of baseball's greatest players--with the stats to prove it. The book's main assertion--that Rodriguez was a regular steroids user--is overshadowed by the theme of narcissism. A-Rod's selfishness comes across as a way of life. L.J. Ganser always establishes a consistent tone in his narrations--whether he's delivering a novel or a nonfiction investigative piece like this. Here he maintains a steady, interested tone--almost, yet not quite, bewildered--as he details Rodriguez's steroid use, relationships, and calculated public relations efforts. Fans will glean insights as the author reveals a man whose need for acceptance dominates his life. M.B. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
