A comprehensive guide to the sport of Pickleball. I liked the narration too but felt compelled to only award four stars because of the pronunciation of some proper names, notably "Roanoke" and "Knute" (Rockne), both of which end with a silent "e." For anyone thinking of taking up Pickleball or a Pickleball player looking to improve their game and learn about the origins of the game, I recommend this book
