Amazing But True Sports Stories is a book that tells about amazing happenings in the history of Sports. Some includes record breaking home runs and record breaking goals. Overall I thought that is was a really good book because I like reading about sports.
I heard about this book through school. I found it on Ms. Mainhart's book shelf. My impresion of the book was that it was very good if you are interested in the genre of sports. I liked the author's style becuase the stories were short and sweet which meant you got through the book quicker. I think the author wanted me to take away that miracle like events can happen in sports. I would recemond this book to people who are interested in the genre of sports because the whole book is filled with sport stories. This book reminds me of a couple of other books I have read which included books with sports stories. If I had to sum up this book in one sentence I would say: Miracles can happen in sports and this book proves it. I learned that miracles can happen in sports. This book could have been better if they included some more stories about great rivalry's, comebacks, etc. Overall I thought this was a really good book and recemond it to anyone who enjoys sports.

Amazing but true sports stories by Phyllis and Zander Hollander. This book is non-fiction.
This book is pretty much what the title says. Many different sports are listed. Under each sport, there are many different stories about this sport. For example, for baseball, it says about the longest running game or something like that. It also includes pictures of the person who achieved this thing or teams and things like that.
I like sports. I like to play sports or watch sports. But there are some sports that I don't really know much about. I like to play things like basketball, but things like american football and baseball, I don't really know much about. So therefore, I didn't really understand much of the book. I would recommend this book to people who know quite a bit about sports because for people like me who know only a couple, it would be a little hard to understand. I would recommend this book to any age and out of ten, I would give it around a 6.
