Children's book: Introduction to Parkour or freerunning,
By Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Parkour (Crabtree Contact) (Paperback)
This is a thin kid's book which looks to be part of a series on extreme sports. The photography is quite good and there's nothing to fault in the text introduction to the sport. It naturally downplays the poverty and violence of the Parkour early days, but there's little else to fault. I'd call it good for maybe ages 7-10 or so, by age 10 this really doesn't have enough detail.

A Brochure at Best,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Parkour (Crabtree Contact) (Paperback)
I wouldn't even classify this as a book, more of a brochure for Parkour. The history is incomplete (claims everything began with Yamakasi) and doesn't show you anything. If you already know the basics of what Parkour is, then you know more than this book has to offer. The entire point of this book is to tell people "you need to take lessons (preferably from the author)." Honestly, I'd classify it as a waste of money. Just wiki "Parkour" and you learn more than what you get in here (including 95 more years of history).
