Book Reviews of The Basketball Diaries
Book Review: An excellant book on the hardships of life.
Summary: 5 Stars
Carroll is an amazing writer, poet, and musician. I've seen the movie many times, but once I read the book "Basketball Diaries" I realized what a great author he truly is. So if you haven't already, buy the book. I also recommend you watch the movie and read the sequal, "Forced Entries."Book Review: a very gripping and intense story
Summary: 5 Stars
Once you pick it up, you won't put it down. It didn't feel like I was reading a book, like I was reading a letter from someone tellling me all about their life and what they've been up to. a really compelling story by a great poet and musician, Jim Carroll.Book Review: Extremely Depressing
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought it was incredibly well written, and I liked the fact of it being so depressing. It's hard to believe that some one, Jim Carroll, actually went through this hell on earth. Well, it just is a matter of time before you could get over it.Book Review: Like
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read this book twice since I have gotten it. I really like it a lot. This is not a book for your children though. It is pretty graphic about things. So if your a parent please read this first before letting your kid read it.Book Review: A masterpiece by a master Poet
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has to be the most fantastic and influential book I've read to date. I have been a fan of Jim's work for years, and he has inspired me enormously; only now is he getting the reprieve he deserves. Here's to you Jim!
