Book Reviews of Curling For Dummies
Book Review: A good follow up after you start curling
Summary: 4 Stars
Back in February of 2010 my wife and I were watching curling in the Olympics and my wife, not familiar with the sport (I knew a little about it, enough to be dangerous), became fascinated. We went home from dinner and continued watching the games. While watching, I surfed around and learned that we had a local curling club and they did Learn to Curl's. We did that in March and have sense participated in a Beginner's League. Wanting to learn a little more, and not being afraid to admit I'm a dummy I picked up Curling for Dummies.
Curling for Dummies presents curling at the beginners level but seems to give much more (while I'm just getting started, I've seen a few things I know I should cover again after I have more experience). The book is divided into six sections that go from introducing the sport to the fundamentals to playing the game and getting better. Subjects are presented in a nice simple format with subsections covering details very nicely.
Rating wise I'm calling this a 4 star book. I was generally impressed with its presentation of curling. There's good details to expand a beginners understanding but its no substitute for learning from a certified curling instructor (if you're interested in curling I highly recommend attending a Learn to Curl from a local curling club). I do believe this book is helpful to beginners and intermediates to understand more about curling so they can talk with the more experienced curls in their club and possibly improve their game.
