I give this book a three star because there is not a lot of information in the book. It talks about how the Chinese government forced Yao's parents to get together. The Chinese government wanted Chinese basketball to be global. They sent Yao to the Shanghai sharks to eventually be drafted in 2002 1st overall. I think this is a great book and you should read it.

I think this book is good for sports fans. Yao Ming was a creation of the government. Their intent was to make Chinese basketball known around the world. Yao's parents were forced to get together by the government. I think this was a good book and you should read it.
