I bought this book expecting some explanation of the game and maybe some humor, but what I found is one of the funniest non-fiction books I've ever read. Anyone who's ever at least dipped their toe into strange athletic cult that is organized ultimate should have this on their coffee table. The parts about the "8 types of ultimate player" are hilariously right on the money.

A great read. Very funny. Great illustrations and its written with an insiders perspective (and authorial voice) that will resonate with anyone who has been on the inside of Ultimate culture. (And its a great expose of it for the non-initiated outsider who's curious what it's all about).

I found this book entertaining, and as an experienced ultimate player, a lot of it rings true. I'm keeping it on my coffee table as a conversation piece.

This book is extremely funny. If you're an Ultimate player looking for light reading and entertainment, this book is a lot of fun. While there are a few serious teaching points about Ultimate, they are few and far between. So, if you're looking for strategies, techniques, or drills, this probably is not the right book. But if you are a veteran player who wants a good laugh, I would recommend it. I've had a lot of fun reading through it.

This book is neither helpful nor funny. It trys very hard to be funny and entertaining and fails miserably. 100% nonsense. The previous reviews must have been written by friends of the authors. This is one of the stupidest books I've ever read.
