I am really thrilled by this book, everything is spot-on.

There is much to be enjoyed and years of training material provided. The pen portraits are icing on the cake content-wise and will bring a fresh perspective for many readers who will feel as if they have come to know Tal on a more personal level.
--Michael McGuerty; ChessCafe
A combination of biography and tactics manual, and this makes it quite interesting indeed. A very special book, both very instructive and enjoyable for all generations of chess players.
