By Neal Shusterman
I love how Shusterman writes and this book was no exception.
There was much difficulty in classifying this text by genre. Most of the content was realistic fiction, up to date and current events included. But there were a few sections related to the structural components of the book that leaned science fiction more than anything. A few of Shusterman's other books have hints of science fiction and I am a fan.
I was greatly surprised by the contents of this book. Anticipated was a story of concussions and the difficult world of high school and college football. The result was almost anything but. There was real world discussion of politics, social and economical issues, and civil rights completely realistic for the current day and age.
The skaters were some of my favorite characters for the majority of the book. In the end I had high hopes for them being almost all-knowing. Imagine the three witches of A Wrinkle in Time.
Out of five, I would rate the book at a three point five. I enjoyed it and recommend reading, but it was not my favorite, and that's okay!
Happy Reading, Bookworms!
