Reviews

[Anne · Rating 3 out of 5]

This biography of basketball star LeBron James is 100 pages full of color photographs, statistics, and information about everything from LeBron's childhood to his career up until 2018. There are sidebars, captions, quotes, a timeline, essential facts, career highlights, a glossary, additional resources (both print and online - and even a museum!), source notes, and an index. What's missing? Photo credits. But, overall, a good read for those interested in James' life and career.
