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.

Croquet

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.
