The name of the book I read is called The Final Four by Paul Volponi. This book is about a group of guys who play basketball and are all trying to eventually reach their dreams. There are five main characters: Malcom, Roko, Crispin, and M.J. Malcolm wants to get to the NBA ASAP. Roko wants to be the pride of his native country, Croatia. Crispin wants the girl of his dreams. M.J. just wants a chance. These guys just need their chance to show the world what they can do, and this chance is winning the NCAA Final Four Basketball Tournament.
What I liked about the book was that the author made it very suspenseful and making it very intriguing and interesting; it made me want to read on. What I didn’t like was the format that the book was set up in. For Non-Advanced readers it can be a little confusing but overall it was not bad. My favorite part was in the end, when the Trojans and the Spartans faced each other in the tournament.
This book is for a bit more advanced readers but if you like suspenseful books and/or books about basketball then you will love this book. I feel like this book is aimed towards teenage/young adult readers. Out of four stars I rate this book 3.5 stars. I gave it this rating because overall this book is pretty good but no book is perfect.
Overall if you like suspenseful books about basketball then this is the book for you !
