          This is a really good review.  I just came across it and instantly was like, I WANT to read that book.  Sport memiors are not even my thing at all.  Actually, the only one I have read was Drive by Larry Byrd.  It was for class.  However, this writer makes Labron James’ new books sound extremely interesting.  I just might look for it next time I go to Powells.

          First off, lately I have been thinking a lot about ghost writers.  I don’t really like the idea.  Yes, I do understand that you can make a lot of money from it and such but I would think that if you put in the effort you would like to get recognition.  A lot of celebrity books are written by ghost writers.  I like that this one has a cowriter.  It adds to the idea that James was trying to give credit where it is due.  I don’t know anything about him but I like him because of that fact.

          I love the idea that the book focuses on a whole group of kids.  No one person can carry an entire team.  I don’t care if there is one superstar; you also have to have people supporting him.  It is good to see this idea ephasized in a story. 

          Have you read this book?  Do you think you will?

          Sidenote: Editting my book is going good! I’m so excited.  Still no ideas on the title.    Hopefully that will come to me soon.
