Negative Positive
Title: disappointing
Review: I really, really wanted to like this book and actually gave two copies as presents before I'd even read it myself. Sadly though, I'm still slogging through it and it is tough going. Though I'm not even in the realms of the blue-hairs, I do love Scrabble and thought I'd be interested in the in-and-outs but am finding his style of writing tedious and annoying at best. I like when he talks about other players or the history of the game but find myself falling asleep when he talks about his tournament games and attempts to memorize words. I'd recommend this book only for those so obsessed with the game that they'd care enough to know all the four letter possibilities and why SATINE is such a perfect word. For the rest of you (us), use what free-time you have to just enjoy the game.
