3 out of 5 stars Interesting for an adult, not a 13 year old   July 7, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Purchased for my 13 year old son, who watches ESPN religiously. He was not thrilled. WAY too technical and boring for him. Just a word to the wise that teenagers probably won't be impressed. I thought the actual turf grass cover was pretty cool. It would make a great coffee table book. Unfortunately, my son doesn't have a coffee table. (I think it's under the bed right now- too bad).

This is a great looking coffee table book, being covered in fake grass, but more than that, and this is the important part, it's also a great read- Informative, punchy and packed with information about activities as diverse as Darts and Parkour. What more do you want from a sports book, eye catching and filled with sporting information. Highly recommended.

Saw this book in a local bookstore but found it here for half the price. Bought it for my sport-loving son for Christmas. He and I both love it. It shows the basic rules, attire and layouts for hundreds of sports...some of which I have never even heard of. Should come in handy for the upcoming 2008 Summer Olympics.

Purchased for my grandson for Christmas. Granddaughter scanned it and wants one too. Both are sports enthusiasts; One is a young coach and the other a sports commentator on TV.
