Title: A great reference for the casual spectator.
Product review: I feel that this book contains all the basic information that anyone with a casual interest in figure skating needs. There are sections on its history, major competitors within the sport, how to do (or identify in my case) various jumps, spins, and artistic moves, and how skaters are judged in competition. It has helped greatly as I watch different amateur competitions leading up to the Olympics...at least I can now tell exactly what the skater is doing and why she/he is scored a particular way myself, where before, I mainly relied on the commentator doing coverage to fill me in.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
