Interactive Response
I was sort of disappointed by the ending of this novel as I wanted to see if Greg's team wins the city championship and if he makes the NBA.Walter Dean Myers does a good job incorporating real life problems with basketball.The plot may be a little dry but it still has some interesting moments which makes you not want to put it down. I would recommend this novel to people who love basketball as Walter Dean Myers does a fantastic job describing the game of basketball through Greg's play.Overall this book is good but it isn't as exciting as some of the other books I've read.
