Review:

Before I read Kristi's book, Figure Skating for Dummies, I always felt like a dummy when it came to figure skating. I could not recognize any of the jumps, and it was very frustrating. However, Kristi explains her sport in a way that most average figure skating fans can understand. Not only does she explain what fans see in figure skating, but she gives backstage details as to what figure skaters also do besides just skate. Kristi gave her own personal stories and told us of her experiences so we can learn from them. I was so happy that Kristi wrote this much needed book for all the figure skating fans everywhere!
