The Mirror
Do you love darts? Wish it was covered with the respect it deserves by the mainstream media? But at the same time realise it’s a hilarious, entertaining and at times bizarre sport?
Then this is the book for you.
Lenny Boyle takes you by the hand through a transcendental tour of the tangled topography of tungsten. In the unique way that darts fans love he'll guide you through the highlights and the lowlights of a deeply odd year in the world of professional darts. He looks beneath and below and sideways at a thrilling, dramatic, surreal and hilarious sport.
From Adrian Lewis’ run to a second world title to Phil Taylor’s thirteenth Matchplay title.
And everything in between. The ghoulish Dana curse, floorboardgate and draftgate. All the scandals and weird incidents that have made for an unforgettable year in the world of darts. If you’re a hardcore darts geek, a casual fan or utterly new to chucks and chuckers; Lenny Boyle’s Darts Almanac is an absolutely essential read. And it’s cheap. Very cheap. Did I mention it’s cheap?
Lenny Boyle writes about professional darts for Mirror Sport, and a bunch of other places too.
Customer Reviews
Great stuff
Like an extension of his Twitter account, all the classic darts moments are here, plus lovely tribute to the late Sid Waddell. A must buy if you are a darts fan!
"it seems those Mayan lads have slightly miscalculated"
An energetic and very funny look at a year of darts, Lennys enthusiasm makes me enthusiastic about a sport I have clearly misunderstood. A must read for darts virgins and veterans alike.
One word "magic darts"
If your a emotionally disturbed or slightly deranged darts fanatic like myself, then there is no other book out there that will satisfy your crazy twisted tungsten mindset!! I have championed Lenny for a while now about how he is the best darts blogger/writer out there and this book rests my case! Knowledge and insight and (madness) second to none, must buy and a steal for any darts or indeed sports fan, Ian Mccorquodale.
