Reader Reviews:
Another type of Betrayal (1/1 people found this helpful)
I purchased this book purely of the strength of the cover which purported that the book would tell the inside story of why David Beckham parted company with Manchester United.
Furthermore, the picture used on the cover was taken after the infamous changing room bust up with Sir Alex Ferguson and I took this as further evidence that the book would explain what actually happened and why.
But this was not the case. The book made no reference to the incident, offered no explanation as to what took place nor does it tell us what was said.
It was only upon reaching the last chapter of this biography that I realised, with growing frustration, that the cover was completely mis-leading. There is very little inside story contained in this book and it is little more than a friendly version of David's life story. Pleasant to read, interesting in parts for fans of David Beckham and his wife but absolutely not what it purports to be on the cover.
At the end of the book the reader is no wiser as to what took place between the player and his manager, what was said or what was the cause of the altercation.
Don't waste your money on this book if you are hoping to find out. The cover is The Great Betrayal. It is simply a marketing exercise and a cheap one at that.
