disappoinment,
This review is from: Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Sports Spectacular (Paperback)
I HAVE BEEN READING BATHROOM READER'S FOR A LONG TIME. I FOUND THAT THIS BOOK WAS A DISAPPOINMENT BECAUSE ALL THE ITEMS IN THE BOOK HAVE BEEN IN PREVIOUS BATHROOM READERS. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT, I WOULD HAVE NEVER ORDERD THE BOOK.

Fantastic book for a fan of sports, but not for long-term Bathroom Reader subscribers,
This review is from: Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Sports Spectacular (Paperback)
This book follows the same Bathroom Reader formula that all the others do in the series, with the exception that the articles are over sports, racing, and table games. If you have never read a Bathroom Reader, the format of one is as follows:
There's an index of short, medium, and long articles that are categorized in certain topics. Some articles, usually stories, may be continued in another spot in the book. On each page, there is a factoid at the bottom. The books are not linear, so you can flip to any page you want to. Almost every article in this book was very interesting, even if you do not follow that particular sport, race, or game. Some of the articles have even inspired me to start researching certain games. Despite that the books are meant to be read on the john, I find them to be extremely entertaining on long road trips and other events in which you must wait a long period of time. If you are a long-term subscriber to Bathroom Readers, then there is a buyer beware for this book. All of the articles in this book have apparently been used in other editions of the Bathroom Reader, as one of the above reviewers has mentioned. I'm quite a casual fan of the Bathroom Reader series, as I own about five or six editions, but even I had some déjà vu reading some of the articles. Bottom line or tl;dr, buy if you're a sports fan and haven't read many bathroom readers, don't buy in any other case.

Readers for the Bathroom,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Sports Spectacular (Paperback)
I purchase bathroom readers every year for all the men in the family. They are a huge hit and one of those "expected" Christmas gifts. Since my husband gets one as well, I also get to read them. They are perfect for our "sitting" room. The stories are interesting and SHORT, which is key. A great fun, yet informative book.
