About this title: Eight medals, including six gold and two bronze. Michael Phelps used the Olympic Games in Athens as his breakout event. Already known in the swimming world for the summer of 2003 when he set seven world records in 41 days, Michael's record-tying medal haul made him a mainstream name. He's well on his way to his ambitious goal of "changing the sport of swimming," but despite Michael's pre-eminence in the pool, his story is not a swimming diary but a take of adversities overcome and redemption through persistence.

"i really liked this book. When i first started it i didnt really know what to expect. But as i started reading it i began to really understand the committment and didication that it takes to really succeed at something that you are passionate about. i thought it was a really inspiring story of someone who was willing to give 110% to be the best at something he loved. It made me realize that good things and success dont just come in life, you have to work to be remembered!"
"He threw in some personable details (such as the "race" to get a dog), but overall I wasn't incredibly impressed. Everything seemed rushed (then again, he is the world's fastest swimmer, so he's used to going fast), and it left the reader kind of bored."
