Summary: Great book!
Comment: I've been coaching volleyball for 7 years now. This is the best book I've found on skills and strategies. It helped me go from the basics, which is all the farther high school volleyball got when I played, to the advanced game it is today. Easy to read and understand, also.
Rating: 3
Summary: Nice. Not very thorough. Offers interesting concepts.
Comment: The book covers the basic techniques and tactics. It is mostly a description of the author's view of how to play, and less a complete description of the possibilities, implications, pros and cons of the various options.
If you want to know how Karch plays - there's some very interesting "inside information". This does not necessarily mean it suits your needs and abilities.
If you value your health, and want to make real progress, skip the chapter about conditioning and strength training - very unprofessional: For example, his gym leg training is knee extensions, rather than leg press / squats, and his view of rest is 24 hours off the gym (in his level he should retire for ~96 hours).

Summary: Karch is King!
Comment: Volleyball's most decorated player in history [winner of 3 gold medals in the Olympics (2 indoor and 1 outdoor), over 130 career wins on the A.V.P. Tour, the #1 leader in career prize money,etc.], Karch Kiraly has yet another career ahead of him in writing. Karch teaches you to become a better volleyball player and the techiniques he uses to be 'numero uno.' I think it's well written and he's added more about the beach game. Everything that Karch does is 'golden!'
The best thing about my copy of Karch's book is I had him sign it for me! So, go out to the next A.V.P. event or if you see him practicing, and ask him to do the same. I can't wait to read some of his other books in the near future!
