Rated by buyers -
First of all, I am not 9-12 or even 18 and I know it has been stated that this is the recommended age range for this book - I am well into my 40's and in fact was one of those people who watched and held my breath through the entire King/Riggs match. Rooting for Billie Jean as a teenage girl was risking disfavor with any male prospects one might have had...and as alot of us put it on the line in support of her taking the challenge - she vindicated us all with that win and the continuing bravery she has shown in being who she is for all to see. You don't have to be an adolescent to appreciate this book and the life it chronicles - in following her heart and winning she gave the rest of us courage to follow ours. This book is more than a biography - its a reminder to all of us - young and old - that courage and integrity are built a day at a time...this book helps us to look back over Billie Jean's shoulder to mark the path of a hero. Excellent read, indelible memory.
