Review:
Rafa: My Story is a terrific sporting memoir, full of memorable anecdotes and stamped with the authority of a ghost-writer who earned the complete trust of his subject. It is hard to imagine how Nadal could have done any more to get the best out of his own raw material. And it is to Carlin's enormous credit that the book is a true reflection of the man, in every sense - Ed Smith
New Statesman
Between them they have served up a winner-Simon Redfern
Independent
Take a glimpse behind the curtain of both his private and professional life - it's as exciting as Rafa himself
