But I’m glad I got a copy for myself since I’ve been a Tony Hawk fan since I was a kid. Read more
My son had to choose a biography for a report at school so he asked if we could find a book about a skater. This is what we got. After his report was done, he probably read it another 5-6 times, and educated me on all things Tony Hawk. He wasn't necessarily a TH fan prior to reading this book, but he really learned a lot about the skateboarding history, and about persevering in the face of challenges. Read more
This book arrived in great shape. The skateboarding enthusiast I gave the book to was thrilled with it. The book is geared pretty much for his age-group (16). It is a paperback, but not a very high-end paperback - the paper is inexpensive. But for his purposes, the book is fine. As an avid skateboarder, he was very happy with the photos, biography and chapters about Tony Hawk's moves on a skateboard. I had never heard of this skateboarder (I am a grandmother and not up on skateboarders), but he had and was very happy I picked this book for him. The book arrived within the timeframe given and in plenty of time for Christmas. Read more

The person I bought it for thought it was great! He began reading right away! He is a 10 yr old who loves skate boarding! Read more
Ordered this for a preteen who lives at the beach in San Diego, so he was already familiar with Tony. He found the book to hold his interest and he learned new things about Tony Hawk. Read more
Great book for the book report that my grandson selected to create. He got A+++ grade. Read more
