I chose the book Next Man Up by John Feinstein, because it is a book about football. This book is a journey into the secret world of the NFL. The author, John Feinstein, spins a year chronically the Baltimore Ravens football team. Usually, NFL teams do not let anyone into their secret world. They seem to be paranoid that there plays, play calling, and strategies will be stolen.

The book I have chosen to review is Boy 21, a fictional read that is written by Matthew Quick. Quick is a New York Times best-selling author debuting in novels such as The Silver Linings Playbook and Love May Fail. To best describe this book, it is a captivating read that is comforting for the mind, as it canvasses the raw and unflinching life of a high school senior who displays love for basketball and life relationships. Furthermore, set in a troubled Belmont city of Philadelphia, Quick incorporates the presence of mobs and violence which is captivating towards the reader and audience. I was intrigued about how the novel was written through Finley the main protagonist, which was Quick’s childhood perspective of life in Philadelphia and his passion towards basketball.

“With the 29th pick in the 1962 draft the Detroit Pistons select Reggie Harding from Martin Luther King High School, in Detroit Michigan.” How would you feel if you witnessed the first player drafted out of highschool? I know I would be very impressed. I would be impressed because for one you have to be very good at the sport to be playing against other players whose average age is 28 years old, when you are only 18 to 20 years old. Another thing I am impressed about is how he convinced his parents to let him skip college I would totally let him skip college to go to the NBA if I were his parents, after all, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
