Summary: THIS IS ONE BOOK YOU HAVE TO BUY
Review: The book was great. I think i read the book oh about 4 times. And every times a read it a found new things. I loved the book so much i gave i copy to my bowling coach. Well i guess you'll say he loved it so much every time he see me he says "THANKS FOR THE BOOK IT'S SO GOOD"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: So THAT'S How Its Done
Review: This book lived up to its promise. I am brand new to the 'real' way to bowl, and I found this book very helpful. The format is great. I think that the book would do any newcomer some good. There is a style to Werner's writing that can only be termed 'relaxed.' I am trying to develop what I have learned from this book. It is a great springboard into the sport.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book for anyone new to bowling
Review: This is what every non-fiction book should be. Brief, to-the-point, and effective. And this book is very brief. You may probably be able to read it in a half hour and then head straight to the alley and practice. This book is very clear and provides easy-to-follow pictures, too. I understand everything the author is trying to say. Lastly, this book is effective because I followed its exact instructions and I'm able to bowl with a nice hook, something I always wanted to know how to do. Although you won't be able to learn more advanced skills or more fancier hooks, this is not suppose to be a comprehensive guide to bowling.

Review: Too simple, too brief and quite out-dated figues and pictures illustration. Anyone buy this book and hopping to learn something out from it will be quite disappointed.

Summary: Solid Fundamentals for Beginners or Returners.
Review: When asked to go bowling again, after not having done so in over twenty years, I found my game had simply disappeared. I was a beginner again. This little book, lavishly illustrated, written with wit and humor, put those pesky little fundamentals back in perspective. Bowling is fun, and Werner's book reminds us that it's fun, or should be.

Werner gives a brief history of the sport, some prominent bowlers which will surprise a number of people, and some solid techniques to get your game back in shape with very little effort. He also gives a very useful table of common errors, and suggested corrections.

But most of all, Doug Werner reminds the reader that the way to learn to bowl is to go bowling. Read the book, then get out there and knock `em down.

A bargain at Amazon's price, this book will delight any beginner, and is invaluable to the rookie or out of practice bowler. Five stars aren't enough.
