Review

This biography from Lerner jumps into the action of Williams's life starting with her Grand Slam win in 2015. After putting her in this context as an ultimate champion, the book backtracks to Williams's early life and tennis-focused childhood. The book includes plenty of photographs and a timeline of selected career highights from 1999-2015. Also includes a TOC and an index. The book does not offer depth of material, but would nicely satisfy a reader curious about who Serena is and where she fit in with sports history up to this point. Add to an elementary biography or tennis section.

Overall Book Score: good
