Night Hoops Blog Book review.........

Carl Deuker's  Night Hoops taught me with all of the details of basketball that he makes. One of the details that really taught me is that he state's in a quote, "The Rectangular 90x50 court is like a safe house". This is also a simile that really caught my attention. It caught my attention because when ever i take the court I used to wonder how long and wide the court actually is.

"Night Hoops"

      During the month of October I read a book called Night Hoops by Carl Dueker. This book starts off kind of slow introducing the main character Nick and his family. Once the book gets going it begins to get kind of interesting. Nick is a high school basketball player along with his brother. Nick tries out for the team and if you are curious to find out what happens then just read the book.

     If I could recommend this book to any age group it would be to an age rage of 12-25. This is a quick read that you could probably end up finishing in only about a week and a half. Only 250 pages. If you are into the game of basketball then this is going to be right up your ally. This book is very exciting at times stated and giving specific details of each of the games/practices. The only way that I had found out about this enthusiastic took is through Ms. Basko. When she gave me the book she told me that I would enjoy it because I play basketball and that I could relate to most of the characters in this book. Night Hoops is not only a book telling a true story but it can also give you tips on the sport. In one of the chapters it describes the length and width of the court. It also tells one of the moves that one of the characters makes in order to make it to the basket to score. The book also has some other action other than basketball.
