I loved this book, it was very interesting and was very emotional. Also, it includes my liking of sports, which makes the book something I look forward to reading.

This may just be me because I'm usually dissapointed with basketball books. I picked this one up because it looked like an easy read and I'm trying to add more "boy" books to my library; it's too easy of a read that it didn't grab me. It may get to some of my boys, maybe, but I'm going to hold off on buying any more of these books. It was a little to painful for me.

It was really good.
