Book Reviews of The Basketball Diaries
Book Review: "Basketball Diaries" starts you on a search for Jim's books.
Summary: 5 Stars
Reading "Basketball Diaries", I thought "Wow!". This started my frenzy to buy all of his books that I could get my hands on (there are several out of print and two extremely rare ones!). Jim is my favorite author and is quite hypnotizing in his words. As wonderful as "Basketball Diaries" is, his poetry is much better! His words are like a potent elixer, once your addicted, that's it, you become a Jim fanatic. Jim also has a band, that music is ok, it's basicly 80s punk-rock, it's a little synical with titles such as "People Who Died", "Wicked Gravity", etc. You deffinetly have to have a taste for that type of music. There is a sequel to "Basketball Diaries" called "Forced Entries", I didn't enjoy that one as much, but it is deffinetly good. If you loved Jim's diaries, read his poetry!
