Summary: Keep Your Expectations Reasonable
Comment: I see that this is the third review. The first reader had modest expectations about the book and was well rewarded, as was I. The second expected an advanced strategy discussion and was disappointed. The fault here is the reviewer's, not the book's.

This short beook is clearly designed to get the reader to the table and to have some fun. It's EXACTLY what a first-timer needs. It won't give you the experience of a ten year player but will simply get you the basics. And that it did quite well.

Summary: Grandpa Lou doesn't know the first thing about Euchre
Comment: I cannot believe I bought this book. At the time, there was only one review and (for some reason) it was given 5 stars. Euchre is NOT a difficult game to learn. But there are many strategies to learn if you want to be an expert player. This book covers none of them.

Basically, we sit through a make-believe hand of Euchre, while the author describes how to throw a card onto the table. After about 12 cards are thrown, you turn the page only to find that you're now looking at the back cover -- and you haven't learned a single thing.

Save your money. Do not buy this book. If you want to learn the basics of Euchre, have a friend teach you. If you want to learn about Euchre strategy, buy the Columbus Book of Euchre. I purchased it at the same time I bought this piece of worthless .

It's just too bad the author had to smear his grandpa's name by putting it in the title of this book.

Summary: Grandpa Lou teaches Euchre so everyone gets it! Great book!
Comment: I never played Euchure in the cafeteria in high school, so I was not prepared for my husband's family's Euchre marathons. I would just sit on the sidelines, trying to get the hang of the game, with no success. Even private tutorials were no help (we all know your husband can't teach you anything, right?).

So my husband bought me this book for xmas last year, as a last-ditch effort before I became permanently classified as Euchre-challenged.

This is one hell of a book. I sat out the tournament and read it, cover to cover, and now I get it. I actually get it! Thanks, Grandpa Lou. (Shame you're not related to my husband!)
