 `Why do you think this book is called `Flaming Olympics'...? March 13, 2007
AMAZON REVIEWER
Sorry......couldn't possibly spoil the book for you!
If you have read the `FOUL FOOTBALL' and `TOP TEN' series of books, you will be aware of the way in which MICHAEL COLEMAN puts knowledge across, in a humorous way. This book is no exception.
A colourful, humorous cover opens to 160 pages, split over 11 chapters:-
Introduction
The flaming ancient Olympics
Flaming Olympic events - a duffer's guide
Strike a light! - the opening ceremony
Hot holidays and cold wars - the competitors
Absolute torch-ure - flaming Olympics training
Scorching performances - superstars and sizzling spectators
Playing with fire - champion cheats
Blazing rows - flaming Olympic disasters
Oh, blow! - the closing ceremony
The Grecian Games - Athens 2004
Black and white illustrations/cartoons/quizzes throughout.
 Calling all sports fans, you must read this book! November 23, 2000

Flaming Olympics is a fact book by Micheal Coleman all about the Olympics, it is part of a series of books called 'The Knowledge'. I liked this book because it was full of information about the ancient and modern Olympics, as well as lots of jokes and funny pictures. The genre of this book is fact as it is packed with helpful facts to tell you all about the worlds most famous sporting event. It covered almost everything you need to know about Sydney 2000, too. Even if you hadn't heard the word 'Olympics' before, you would basically be an 'Olympic expert'after reading this book! It also contains tons of Olympic stories with bad, and good endings. If I were to recommend this book to a specific age range, it would be for children aged 8 - 12, and if I had to score it out of 10 it would get 10.
