Lacey Mubanga,
DNF @ around 50%。 I really enjoyed the beginning of this book, where we were learning about how both of these men grew up and how they managed to get to the Premier League。 I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway and am super bummed that I just couldn’t stick with it。 After the first section, there were just too many details of specific matches, of shoe companies and sponsorships, and a lot of names。 I got so bogged down in the details, that I dreaded picking this up, so I’m done。 This is by no DNF @ around 50%。 I really enjoyed the beginning of this book, where we were learning about how both of these men grew up and how they managed to get to the Premier League。 I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway and am super bummed that I just couldn’t stick with it。 After the first section, there were just too many details of specific matches, of shoe companies and sponsorships, and a lot of names。 I got so bogged down in the details, that I dreaded picking this up, so I’m done。 This is by no means the fault of the book。 I picked this up knowing that I know little about soccer。 I was hoping to get a better understanding since I am a new fan and am trying to learn more in order to converse with my husband。 This was just not the book to do this with。 The book already assumes that you know the basics about Messi and Ronaldo, and I didn’t。 It assumes you know who all of the major people they talk about are, and I didn’t。 It’s not a book for beginners, but I’m sure it garners a lot of new, interesting information for those that are already fans and more acclimated to the game and its participants, than I am。 。。。more
Reena,
I'm not a football (for Americans, soccer) fan but I have heard of both Messi and Ronaldo (who hasn't!), and I appreciate a well-written book。This was definitely well done, and worth a read!

Michael,
In "Messi vs。 Ronaldo," authors Clegg and Robinson take on the story of two mythical living legends of football (soccer), and do it in compelling, insightful reading that makes for a book that you won't put down。 It a must-read for any football fan and an excellent primer for someone who's not familiar with el logo bonito but has surely heard of Messi and Ronaldo。 The reporting skill that the authors possess is richly displayed in the writing about these two mysterious leviathans of football。 Th In "Messi vs。 Ronaldo," authors Clegg and Robinson take on the story of two mythical living legends of football (soccer), and do it in compelling, insightful reading that makes for a book that you won't put down。 It a must-read for any football fan and an excellent primer for someone who's not familiar with el logo bonito but has surely heard of Messi and Ronaldo。 The reporting skill that the authors possess is richly displayed in the writing about these two mysterious leviathans of football。 Thanks to NetGalley and Mariner Books for the opportunity to preview this book。 #MessivsRonaldo #NetGalley #MarinerBooks 。。。more
Kevin Rodrigues,
Fanatic book!!! 5 stars!!! I could not put the book down。 Ronaldo and Messi had such different yet very similar careers from their humble beginning to the tail end of two amazing careers。 The authors did a great job going back and forth between Ronaldo and Messi lives touching on everything from legal battles and the Jorges to all the Classico’s。 So many great memories relived reading this book。 I highly recommend reading Messi vs Ronaldo no matter which you root for。
