Book Reviews of Slam! (Point Signature (Scholastic))
Book Review: LOVE it
Summary: 4 Stars
Slam takes place in Harlem, New York. It is about a guy named Slam Harris. Slam loves to play basketball and loves the girls, but academics are not his thing, so, he tries his hardest to keep his grades up to stay on the team.
The climax is when his coach asks Slam to take a season off of basketball. My favorite part of the book, however is when his dad coaches the team, and when he masters his double crossover.
Even the cover of the book is interesting. It tells about the book and that he loves to play basketball. It also shows what he looks like so you can imagine it while you read the book.
I loved this book so much. It is one of the best books I have ever read. This book should be for people 12 and up because of the language, sexual content, drugs, and some mild violence. I would read it hands down any day over any other book.

Summary of Slam! (Point Signature (Scholastic))
Seventeen-year-old Greg "Slam" Harris can do it all on the basketball court. He's seen ballplayers come and go, and he knows he could be one of the lucky ones. Maybe he'll make it to the top. Or maybe he'll stumble along the way. Slam's grades aren't that hot. And when his teachers jam his troubles in his face, he blows up. Slam never doubted himself on the court until he found himself going one-on-one with his own future, and he didn't have the ball.Literature Books
