Book Reviews of Sizzling Chops and Devilish Spins: Ping-Pong and the Art of Staying Alive
Book Review: Get it.
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is like a long rally between an old school hard bat chopper and a young buck fast glue attacker - a compelling, fierce, passionate story of give and take, of missed opportunities and fizzing triumphs all woven together with guts and guile.I loved the glimpse of an age past, of ping-pong hustlers, pimple artistes and the unwelcome thrust of the new. If you love the game of table tennis, like a bit of spice in your writing and are a sucker for richly-drawn characters of old, go nowhere else.
