Shelley T, Reviewer

Basketballogy: Super Cool Facts You Never Knew definitely contains a lot of facts! It touches on everything from history and rules to shoes and celebrities. Some transitions from one topic to the next are a little choppy. However, the author makes dry facts more dynamic with personal details of specific players and teams. If you're looking for obscure basketball trivia then this book is for you. Additionally, there are loads of hand drawn pictures on each page of the book.
