Book Review: "Slam!" scores!
Summary: 4 Stars
Greg "Slam" Harris, was a good kid. Never did drugs, never got arrested, never been accused of something erroneous. But nobody is perfect, especially Slam. He's got his share of problems at home with his family. His mother's always pushing Greg to do his best, yet his dad is pushing harder. Then his little brother is always curious, messing with his things, making him angry. Then of course there's school. Slam always tries to find the easy way out of schoolwork. He is then changed from his old school in the ghetto, to a new prep-school with a lot of smarter kids. He can't keep up with them. There are so many things that are going bad for him, but there's always one thing that keeps his mind off it all. Basketball. When he's on that court, he's at his best. Lay-ups, free-throws, jumpers, and of course, his specialty, slam-dunks.
Walter Dean Myers shows how a kid from the streets makes his way to earn the respect of his friends, other players, and his new coach. I really enjoyed this book because a lot of kids have things in their life that relates to Greg.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants something so bad, that they would do anything for it, or someone who loves basketball. Just do it.
