I'm sorry to contradict the other reviewer, but I think this book was poorly edited and had a strange storyline. I must've found about 30 typos. Unless you are interested in volleyball, you will be quite bored throughout half the book. From the summary on back, it looks as if it has a little volleyball in it, but the game takes up much of the book. Things come out of nowhere, and for stupid reasons. I read this book vacationing at the beach, and I left it there. I recommend it only for deep thinkers who also enjoy hearing every detail of volleyball games.
