5 out of 5 stars The Greatest Book Ever on the Sport of Ultimate   May 6, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this book expecting some explanation of the game and maybe some humor, but what I found is one of the funniest non-fiction books I've ever read. Anyone who's ever at least dipped their toe into strange athletic cult that is organized ultimate should have this on their coffee table. The parts about the "8 types of ultimate player" are hilariously right on the money.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent eclectic look at the world's premier emerging sport   January 17, 2008

The book is a great look inside the culture and community that makes ultimate so unique and enjoyable to thousands of americans. The satire mixed with legitimately useful and informative information creates an excellent blend of material which really gives the reader a good feel of what the scene is like. An absolute must-own for any and all ultimate players, a great gift for those who are close ultimate players, as well as a great general interest read.
