an excellent but sometimes flawed intro for beginners and the already-initiated alike
| Customer Rating:  | This is a good book for newbies, and also for people who already know a thing or two about the game. Unfortunately it is also pretty flawed. For example, the absolute beginner will have a hard time with the start of the book.
The first chapter should start with the basic essentials of the game step by step. i.e you have four downs to move the football, you have to gain 10 yards for another 1st down, its 6 points for a touchdown, 3 for a field goal etc. all this IS explained, but the structure of the chapters make this essentail information scattered around and tough to follow for a true beginner.
Having said that, this book is also a great educator. i have followed the game for 23 years, and like other people, you think you know a lot after that amount of time. But i still learned new things and information i hadn't come across before, especially in the sections on formations and sets. If you think you already knew it all, you'd be wrong!
Football is a very complicated game and your education in it's complexities will never stop. This a great first attempt at a book of this genre and if you are just getting into the NFL, it's a great place to start learning all about this incredibly entertaining and complex game. I also recommend buying the latest official NFL Rulebook too, it's really cheap and compliments this book perfectly. You'll be amazed at what you didn't know! |
FOOTBALL FOR DUMMIES
| Customer Rating: | | Very entertaining and interesting - like a load of people in UK I watch NFL and have a basic grasp of the idea and rules of the game - I bought this book to enjoy watching more - it is perfect for this - this book takes you from the basics up to advanced strategies and plays without ever feeling a chore. This is the only book I've ever felt the need to recommend. Very, very good. |
Very Helpful book
| Customer Rating: | I have just recently taken an interest in American Football. I found the game enjoyable but from time to time something would happen on the field and I didn't understand the reason behind the decision. I read the reviews for this book on Amazon.com. I have to say that this really is a great place to start for people that don't understand the rules and regulations behind the game. I now find myself watching and anticipating plays as the players line up. This book looks in detail at what each player is meant to be doing, and when.
This book teaches the basics of the game without being patronising, it is a fantastic book that I am so glad I bought. |
This Book is the best guide to the nfl.
| Customer Rating: | | This book was a very good one. It had everything in it. If you wanted to find a bit on information fast, this is a book where you can do it. |
