4.0 out of 5 stars
My fav of the Learn to Skate books,
By Anne Terry "chikwik" (Southfield, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Figure Skating School (Paperback)
Liked this one better than 'Figure Skating for Dummies' and Petkevich's book. (Though I liked the photos in Petkevich's book better) Some of the grammar is awkward. Some of the photos aren't captioned properly, and the text doesn't always match the drawings. But strongly recommend it to Adult Beginners. It has the answers they are looking for.

I wish there is a two-and-a-half star rating,
By Saraswati "Saraswati" (NY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Figure Skating School (Paperback)
Like my title says, I wish there is a two and a half star rating. I have read better skating books than this one, such as " Figure Skating For Dummies" and "The Essential Figure Skater". This book is too vague in some parts of the book and too much information in the other parts. Not a very good guide to figure skating. The pictures of famous figure skaters are the best parts of this book.
