[Andre · Rating 2 out of 5]

It’s a good book containing predictions so that you can beat your friends in bets about the winter games. However, it is a pointless book now because it’s 2019. So this book sucks now and I wouldn’t suggest buying it. The wording is fine, but it’s only for nerds who are interested in the winter games.
