Title: Hoops Book Review
Product review: After reading Slam, another book written by Walter Dean Myers, I was inspired to read Hoops. I, personally cannot relate to Lonnie Jackson as many other readers may be able to. But being a male athlete is pretty much the only way I am able to relate to this book. On that note, I happened to enjoy this book very much.Hoops takes place during the summer, instead of the regular basketball season, giving Lonnie one less thing to worry about. I think Myers did a great job including all of Loonie's friends that he plays basketball with as well as his love life. One thing that Myers could have wrote more about is Lonnie's relationship with his mother.The ending of the book did disappoint me a little bit though. If I was able to change one thing in the book, it would be the ending. But the conclusion of the book only made Lonnie stronger, which is a job well done by Myers.
