Tim Howard's The Keeper


It has been a while since I read an autobiography.  After reading Tim Howard's The Keeper, I'm going to try and read more.  This was an outstanding book and a very easy read.  Probably because I am a huge fan of the US Men's National Soccer Team.  None the less, I enjoyed it tremendously and I can say it is probably one of my favorite books I've ever read.

This book followed Howard's life from childhood all the way until the time it was written.  It covered his days in youth programs, the MLS, playing in the Premiere League and for the National team.  It was a great read.

Chapters were not long and they were all very interesting.  He really gave you a great look into his life.  I loved it because his chapters were short and precise.  He didn't dwell on one thing for too long but gave you just enough information to keep you interested.

In summary, this was a great book!  It has me even more fired up to watch the US National Team.  In fact, tomorrow we are going to see them play at the Georgia Dome.  Even though Howard won't be playing, it did give me enough excitement from reading that I'm ready to go!
