Summary: Make sure this is the type of book you're looking for.
Review: I only gave this book three stars, because it wasn't what I was expecting. If you are looking for facts about each event, lists of past winners and history of the winter Olympics in general, this is the book for you. Wallechinsky has a near encyclopedic knowledge of the games. However, if you are looking for a book that is more of a guide/tour book to Salt Lake City and the 2002 winter Olympics, keep searching. I was looking for something that might have collated information on what Salt Lake had done to prepare and hints on how to get around, what events were going on in addition to the actual games, etc. His book is informative. It just isn't what I was looking for.
