5.0 out of 5 stars Fantástico September 14, 2011

I downloaded the Kindle app just so I could read this book. Best decision I've made all week! As an avid soccer fan and an intermediate student of Spanish, I feel like this book was written for me personally. The writing is good and there are bits of humor throuhout, along with a generous helping of Spanish words for everything soccer-related and an English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English glossary at the end. My fútbol vocabulary is considerably improved and I enjoyed the clever illustrations throughout the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars informative but not super entertaining December 15, 2012

I assumed this would be a bit more entertaining rather than straight language. I really wanted to like this, but I'm sorry to say that I am having a hard time getting through it.
