Four stars instead of five are given because of the translation. I originally read this book when it was translated into English by a Swedish fan who had a vast knowledge of the football world, Zlatan, and the English language. This "official" English translation is obviously written by a Brit and it loses some of the flair of how Zlatan talks (can you imagine Zlatan referring to other men as "blokes"???).The book itself is brilliant. It's one of the best autobiographies I've ever read, and a MUST-READ for every Ibrahimovic fan. It reads like Zlatan talks, but unlike most of his interviews, the book gives details about and insight into what really happened during various stages in his career. Most fascinating to me were the details of minute-by-minute negotiations during various transfers and Zlatan's opinions about his many coaches. Equally intriguing is Zlatan's descriptions of some of his key matches, best goals and dealings with National team members.Seriously, if you are an Ibrahimovic fan, you have to buy this book. If you hate Ibrahimovic, you have to buy this book. And if you care at all about football (aka: soccer), you have to buy this book. In sum, you have to buy this book.Update 10/26/13: Several people have responded to my comment, asking where they can get my translated version of the book. The translation I originally read was simply a communication from one fan to another, after I had some friends in Sweden purchase the book (they had to go to 10 different book stores to find it!) for me and bring it back to the US. I probably should never have mentioned it. I also purchased the ipad app of the book, which is, I think, the same as this "new" English-language version of the book but without the interactive features of the app.
