kil3yp 's review for:

Training Camp by Wesley King
3.0

I'm DNF'ing this, but I don't know that means it isn't a good book. It's just really not for me. The writing is fine, and I can imagine the premise being of interest to basketball fans...but I really couldn't slog through it. And the prospect of 350 more pages (I got halfway through part 2) was awful. It seemed to have some great messages, but I also felt like I was being hit over the head with them (and I in turn wanted to hit the characters over the head). Plus - these kids are supposed to be like 12 and 13...and I kept forgetting that, and that was a weird issue for me (they seemed more like 17-18).

I also want to point out that this book is covered in VELVET. [Or something velvet-like]. Any public or school librarians out there will know why I'm pointing this out.
