The Roger Federer Story: Quest for Perfection Reviews:
Very Good, but not my Favourite Fed Bio 
2009-09-26 - Stauffer has done an extremely thorough job and I certainly recommend it, but I do prefer Chris Bowers' biography of Federer. It's got more background on his childhood and youth and discussion and anecdotes to show his personality. There's also the advantage that it's recently been updated (Spirit of a Champion), whereas Stauffer's stops in 2007. And so much has happened since then! Stauffer should do an update as he has encyclopediac knowledge of Federer and has also had more insider access to him.
Very Inspirational for the Young Tennis Player
2009-05-23 - We bought this book for my son and all of us ended up reading it. The book has all of the scores from Roger's matches, but more importantly, I thought it did a good job of explaining how he got past his temper tantrums. He is still very emotional (he is so devoted to tennis), but when he is on the court he is entirely professional and that's what young players need to do, to control their emotions, to have their emotions work for them, in order to play their best tennis.
The Roger Federer Story. 
2009-03-03 - This is a good book about Roger Federer life in tennis. I like Roger and this book is very interested to me to know how he started to play tennis, how he developed like a tennis star and like a person.
Interesting read
2008-11-05 - I consider this a good read for all fans of Federer's. The author, though clearly a fan, knows his facts and manages to keep his praise within the borders of reasonability - this is no 'fanboy'-book. A pleasant, well-written account, and imho, very valuable to any real fan of tennis.
I hope there will be a follow-up at some time, as this book does of course not cover 2008 - which might well offer the most interesting facts as this clearly wasn't Federer's best year.
