This review is from: 90 Minutes: The Greatest Moments from the World Cup (Hardcover)

The book is suppose to capture the greatest moments of the games in photos but the photos are blurry and fuzzy. Some are so blurry you cannot see what it is. If the intent is to recreate the memorable moments in photos, then I think the book missed its "goal".

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, June 2, 2010

Agree completely with the 'blurry and fuzzy photos' guy. Could not believe how crappy most of the photos are. I picked it up (shrink wrapped) on sale for 5 bucks (reduced from 50) and i still feel ripped off..Avoid!

90 MINUTES: THE GREATEST MOMENTS FROM THE WORLD CUP is a memoir and history any World Cup fan will find engrossing, capturing the sport's highlights in dramatic, artistic full-page color photos accompanied by a captain which cites details of the match portrayed. Soccer is played by millions around the world, so the potential audience for a keepsake edition like 90 MINUTES will prove vast.
