I found this book to be interesting and instructional. The writing style wasn't especially dynamic, but I really liked the photographs, especially of the different moves and the various instruments. I also liked that the Portuguese words were italicized, and a glossary and pronunciation guide were provided at the back of the book (I'm one who really likes to know the correct pronunciation of what I'm reading!) And I found the history fascinating!
This is a topic I knew absolutely nothing about before reading this book, and when I was finished, I wanted to see capoeira in action! What luck--a nice bibliography was provided, and a list of websites for further investigation.
Not bad, I say. Kris
