I agree. Mike Lupica's books always talks about sports. Why can't he talk about something different? So other people can read more of his books.People can be more interesting in not only reading sports books,but other genres too.
I read Heat before I knew much about characterization or other aspects of writing, so I loved it. However, when my knowledge of writing had deepened and I looked back on it, I found many flaws and lowered my rating.
The book is not bad, though--I would not discourage you from reading it to your students or recommending it to them. Heat even teaches some decent lessons and has an enjoyable character or two. It just isn't terribly original.
