I thought this book was very interesting....at times, for me personally I would get tied up and lost in the explanations of the mountains,altitudes, and some of the characters. this I thought took away from the actual story line, since it jumps... read full review | report as inappropriate

This really is an attractive volume, and it constitutes a sort of fantasy list of unique golf courses. The author has gone out of his way to avoid many of the "obvious" big name courses that golfers know from televised tournaments. This gives the... read full review | report as inappropriate
Notice that the title is not "The Fifty Greatest Golf Courses." My title would be, "Fifty Interesting Places to Play Golf." Whether it's my title or the real title, the emphasis is on "places to play," or "destinations," not golf courses per se.... read full review | report as inappropriate

Having read all of the Bill James Baseball Abstracts since they were first widely published, as well as articles and books from others in the field of sabermatics; and having been a Met fan since their beginning in 1962 and remembering the playing... read full review | report as inappropriate
A fair read, amd written well because of special access to the A's while they were winning 20 in a row, but Lewis' soujourn into baseball seems contrived, as if Thomas Boswell or Roger Kahn spent a while writing about all-star mutual fund... read full review | report as inappropriate

This book is a perfect gift for anyone at any age. Beautiful pictures highlight this book at insane angles you wouldn't believe. Pictures such as "The Catch", Marcus Allen's dive, and Dempsy's hooved foot. It also includes stats, explanations, and... read full review | report as inappropriate

Author: Bill Dobbins, Arnold Schwarzenegger - (Paperback) ... more
This is the best book I have ever read on bodybuilding. It contains valuable information for everyone, from begginers to professional bodybuilders. If you want to just learn how to get in shape or want to learn more advanced bodybuilding, this... read full review | report as inappropriate
A book packed with routines that would stun a bull gorilla. No-one who is not taking phenomenal amounts of anabolic drugs will gain a scrap of muscle from the training advice presented here. Read anything by Stuart Macrobert if you want sensible... read full review | report as inappropriate
Definetely not worth the $ if you have the first edition. The info is outdated and will lead to serious overtraining(unless you use anabolics). The pics are great, however, and so are the history of BB chapters. read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: John Czarnecki, Howie Long - (Paperback) ... more
As a former football player and sportswriter, I thought I knew all about the game of football. But Howie Long and the others in this book spelled out many aspects of the game that I didn't even know in my years playing and writing about it.... read full review | report as inappropriate
I think it was written for people with a basic knowledge of football and not the non-fan. The terms in the glossary didn't make sense to me at all. Decided to forget about finishing the book and just make appetizers instead for the actual fans.... read full review | report as inappropriate
Never, ever, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, teach a football player to put his head down and drive through a hole in the line! I'm no "all-pro defensive end" but I do know that that's an excellent way to get your neck broken or injure... read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: W. Timothy Gallwey - (Paperback) - 1997 ... more
This all-time classic will help everyone interested in learning and improving in tennis or any other subject. It goes beyond the court because it deals with the most important aspect of learning--YOU and how you interfere with your own progress.... read full review | report as inappropriate
While I strongly believe that the mental side of tennis plays a huge role in one's performance, I found this book to be too theoretical without much practical application. Mr Gallwey starts the book by explaining Self-1 verses Self-2 and how... read full review | report as inappropriate
Gallwey's book was an instant classic when it first came out. It was somewhat revolutionary at the time as few sport psychology books were available for the tennis public. It still makes good bathroom reading and it still applies to a general... read full review | report as inappropriate
Author: Cherry Hill - (Paperback) ... more
Great book. Bought it for my 14-year-old who thinks she knows it all. She has learned some interesting facts and applies that to her own horse. It has made her understand the horse instead of just reacting. Highly recommended for any level horse... read full review | report as inappropriate

watching baseball smarter really doesn't get as in-depth as i had hoped. its more for beginners and people somewhat familiar with the game. its not a bad book, its well written and easy to read. if you are looking for something to blow your... read full review | report as inappropriate
I think this book is pretty much aimed at younger readers, 10-20, or an occasional follower of the gam
