T-riffic book
This book was a great book to be called a page-turner because you didn't want to stop reading it: there was always something new and mind gobbling next, on every single page. This book wasn't hard to concentrate on the story because it was a page-turner. I kind of connected to Kevin Garnett because we both enjoy the game of basketball. I learned that if I really want to be good at something then I must practice at it everyday; it won't just come to you. I enjoyed this genre because it told me that other people's lives weren't perfect either, I had already somewhat knew that, but it helped to make it more apparent. Yes I enjoyed this style of writing because it is what helped it to become a page-turner, so interesting to read. No there weren't really any major surprises in this book that held my interest other then for the time I as reading it. No there weren't any cliffhangers because his chapters were very different from each other so the last chapter couldn't carry into to the next chapter. This book wasn't boring because of the same reason it wasn't a page-turner. My mind did not wander when I was reading the book because the style of writing and genre kept me interested. The plot was believable because there are some kids who really enjoy the game so much they could be willing to play the game everyday. I'd say people who enjoy the game of basketball would enjoy this book. If I were to read another book by the author it would depend on whom the book was about and what the book was about. If it was another basketball biography I could possibly enjoy the nook. I would recommend this book to others who like basketball and biographies. All in all this entire book was terrific. ...
