IRB#5 This book started out really slow. But the further I got in it the better it got. I wouldn’t recommend this book to any die hard basketball players because it might leave them disappointed. When I finally finish this book it left me saying to myself, “Is this it. Is this the end of the book”. Overall I felt that Richie Walker could have done a better job writing this novel.
