This book isn’t just for soccer fans. I found it very interesting to read about the drama and dealings behind David Beckham joining the Major League Soccer’s LA Galaxy in 2007.   Not only does the book provide background on the most famous soccer player in the world, but it also provides insight into the MLS (they have some stupid rules), the other players (some of whom only make $12,500 per year compared to David Beckham’s millions), the general manager (the famous Alexi Lalas), and the owners (do they care about winning games or jersey sales?).  Was The Beckham Experiment a success?  Will the number of soccer fans in the USA increase in the long run?  I think the jury is still out…but until then, this book provides an excellent account of the MLS and Beckham’s story to date.
