Shaquille O'neal
Dear Mr. Bill Gutman,

I have read the book you have written on Shaquille O'Neal. I read this book because "Shaq" is one of my favorite basketball players. This book is an awesome book if people like playing basketball, watching basketball and enjoying Shaquille play. "Shaquille O'Neal" is a very well written book on the player. It tells you how Shaq grew up, what kind of an environment he was raised in and why he starting playing basketball.

Some of my favorite parts where when you describe how much hard work the player has to go through to make him self as good as he is. You describe his endurance, his training and also his abilities to do things he's not able to do. Since I am a high school basketball player I enjoyed reading this, because we train our selves to do things we aren't capable to do. I also liked the action filled chapters when Shaquille is playing for the Orlando Magic. You describe each movement and each point scored, that's fun to read because you describe it so well, and also when it is so action filled you don't want to put the book down.

The parts of the book I really didn't find so interesting to me is when you wrote about other basketball players that played in the NBA(National Basketball Association) a long time ago. I didn't think it had anything to do about the player Shaquille O'Neal. It was Shaq's biography and you described other people in the book. Its like you took Shaquille's spotlight away from him and gave it to the other players.

To conclude this letter Mr. Gutman I have really enjoyed reading this book. It is very action filled and thrilling if you are a crazy basketball player/fan.

Shaq Attaq
This book was awesome! It was very well-written, and it makes you feel like you are in the thrill of the NBA life. It gives you the idea of how hard it was for SHAQ, not only as a kid who grew up on military bases, butalso his college and NBA basketball ways of life. I would recommend thisbook to any basketball fan. I would rate this book a five star book.--DH ... Read more
