3.0 out of 5 stars A Jeter fan review, July 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Derek Jeter: Surefire Shortstop (Sports Achievers) (Library Binding)

I think this book is ok, I am a really huge Yankee fan, especially Derek Jeter fan. I read this book to try to get more information to tell other people, because I write about the New York Yankees especially Derek Jeter. I thought this book had great pictures, and I also thought that this book contained no new information for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Schnakenberg's Jeter, NO CHEATER!--> Buy it now!, January 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Derek Jeter: Surefire Shortstop (Sports Achievers) (Library Binding)

Horn book called it, "well-written". I call it PURE GOLD. It's not often a "GI" on deployment has the opportunity to take a few minutes off patorol and relax with a good read. Sure, it's no "War and Peace", but for a few minutes, it gave me a smile on my face and a sunny disposition in the Kosovo cold.

By A Customer

This is a great book for teenaged boys whose lst love is sports! Derek is a good honest role-model who has his priorities straight. We got an advanced copy from our local sports editor and our 12-year-old grandson loves it...
