Customer Reviews
Have to agree with the other reviews, the author has missed a good opportunity, and it's a shame he didn't get someone like Clive Everton or Phil Yates to proof read.
As previous reviews have said, an interesting book if you don't follow the game closely, otherwise, a frustrating read when you know some of the book is factually incorrect.
Basically if you want accurate snooker statistics look elsewhere! However if you're looking for an entertaining update on your favourite green baize masters then you'll probably enjoy this book.
However, I can't help but feel that the author has missed a great opportunity with this book. Every snooker fan knows what Stephen Hendry, Steve Davis & Jimmy White are doing now (they all feature in the book). But what of some of the lesser players of days gone by? I'd be much more intrigued to find out what former players such as Graham Miles & David "Silver Fox" Taylor are up to these days. Do they lead comfortable retirements, or are they bitter that they didn't come into the game 15 years later? And what of Tony Meo? All snooker fans will know he no longer plays the game competitively, but what exactly is he doing with his life?
Having said the above, Hayes includes a good mix of past players (Joe Davis, Walter Donaldson et al), true greats of the game (Joe Davis again, Hendry, Steve Davis & Reardon) plus the new stars of the game (Paul Hunter, Mark Williams, Ronnie O'Sullivan). Some of the quirkier players are also featured such as Cliff Wilson & Tony Drago.
The potted biographies are written crisply, clearly & with a nice touch of humour shining through now & again. The text for each player is of a good length & the book if fully illustrated with black & white photos. Overall, a good addition to the snooker players' book collection.
