This review is from: And Nobody Got Hurt 2!: The World's Weirdest, Wackiest Most Amazing True Sports Stories (Paperback)
I gave And Nobody Got Hurt! Books 1 and 2 sets for Christmas for each of my nephews, both 10 years old. One started reading as soon as he opened his gift and was finished with one book by the next day. The other newphew isn't much into reading, yet he also started to read. Needless to say, this nephew's parents were delighted.

short, true, and funny stories,
By Reader Views "Reviews, by readers, for readers" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: And Nobody Got Hurt 2!: The World's Weirdest, Wackiest Most Amazing True Sports Stories (Hardcover)
Reviewed by Dylan James for Reader Views (11/07)
This book gathers short, true, and funny stories from baseball, basketball, football, soccer, golf, tennis, Olympics, and random sports like boxing and scuba diving. My favorite part of the book was when a tennis player scored 1 point and then walked off the field thinking that the game was over. How crazy is that? I would recommend this book for girls and boys ages 10 and up, simply because some kids are not familiar with the object and rules of all the sports in the stories. Readers will relate to the book better if they have watched or played these sports and will have a better opinion of how funny the story is. For example, the reader might not understand how funny it is for a baseball player to run the bases backward if they do not know that much about baseball. Otherwise, this book was delightfully funny and has numerous funny stories that kids can share with their friends (and make them laugh!). Because someone might not understand some of the sports, the book might be better if it contained some sort of guide that tells about the rules in each of the sports. A small number of the stories were not that funny and some of them seemed like the same story (i.e. multiple baseball bats falling on heads). If all the stories were funny and different and if the book contained a small sports guide, I would have rated it five stars. Overall, the writing really makes it hard to put the book down, and is very good at drawing you in and making you want to read more. I read it in one sitting! The author was trying to make his readers laugh and I think he was very successful. This book, "And Nobody got Hurt 2!,"made me laugh countless times. Book received free of charge.

I purchased two of these books for little boys in 2nd and 4th grade. They love sports and both have told me how fun the books are and how much they loved them. They are brothers so I purchased the two books in the series so they could trade. Fun, fun reading.
