Croquet books

Human Croquet: A Novel

by: Kate Atkinson
I wouldn't recommend this book. Although I like the author's language and writing in general, this book did not live up to its promise. The story plods along and then skips suddenly somewhere else, and somewhere else again. I liked Emotionally Weird very much, though, and look forward to her other books.

No Nest for the Wicket (A Meg Langslow Mystery)

by: Donna Andrews
As many others have said, this is not the best in the series, but it is still a great read. I chuckled aloud on the bus (commuting) a couple times, causing startled looks and a couple of questions about the book. It is now on loan to another rider.

The idea of Xtreme croquet is a fantastic concept carried out throughout the book. Adding a Morris men team with their bells was a fun device. The appearance of all the unusual family members and the assorted livestock just add to the hilarity.

Croquet (Backyard Games)

by: Steve Boga
I hadn't played the game of croquet since I was a child. When I purchased a set, I decided that the small pamphlet that came with the set, did not answer all my questions on the sport. I wanted one book with good court set-up diagrams, rules for various games one can play in croquet,a glossary of terms, and perhaps some tips on techniques. I found all of this and more in Mr. Boga's book. In typical instruction books, I usually skip the "history of" chapter and get right to the "meat" of the book.
