Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-14 00:00:00 Wayne Modelfino This book is about a boy named Greg a.k.a Slam. He wants to go to the NBA, but there are so much things that is stopping him like his grades, and how this mom and dad are divorced. What I like about this book is when he moved schools and it was a challenge for him to make new friends. I like this book because I can relate that he plays basketball and I do myself also. Another reason why I like this book is because we both have bad grades.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-03-21 00:00:00 Mclarry Larry Slam! By: Walter Dean Myers Review by- Andrew Johns Slam! By Walter Dean Myers takes you into the life of Gregory Harris other wise known as Slam. It shows the struggles he has to face in his neighborhood in Harlem, New York. The book will take you into his life and you will experience the life choices that he has to make, the people who are there to help him are Matisha, Ice, Derek(his little brother), his mother and father and teachers. Slam loves basketball, he wants to make it big and do what he loves for a living. His problems are his grades and his attitude, he has to straighten up or face the fact he will not be playing basketball anymore. Many people that played sports in high school can relate to him, and even if you didn't play sports in high school you still know that keeping good grades is hard. There is a little part of Greg in all of us. “Cutting people out of your life is easy, keeping them in is hard.” Slam says when he is talking about losing people from his life. This is another thing that all of us can relate to. Slam! Is a very relatable book that will keep you interested. The thing that I thought was great about the book, was that you really felt you knew these characters and you were right there with them every step of the way. Slam lets you know how he feels about Matisha and everything that is going on around him. Slam! By Walter Dean Myers is an excellent read that I'm sure everyone will love and remember. I recomend this book to anyone for anything, whether it's for school or just to pass the time. It's a read that you will never forget and love forever.
