5.0 out of 5 stars Jim Carroll reads his classic for Audio Literature, June 7, 1999
By A Customer
The audio version of The Basketball Diaries is no less intense than the book itself. The author reads his book with great feeling for details. No one could have better interpreted it than Jim Carroll himself. Just the way he reads the book, he's telling a story. As a little "extra-treat", Lenny Kaye (guitar player for Patti Smith and Jim Carroll) accompanies the reading with music. If you have never listened to Audio Literature before, this is an excellent book to do so for the first time!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Basketball Diaries (Paperback)
I wasn't sure about ordering a USED book online. I've ordered new books but not used. It was a success: looked like new and came in a few weeks. I am happy with it =)

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ, March 23, 1998
Every teen should read this book. I was 14 the first time I read it and it was the first book I ever actual read from cover to end. I could not put it down.
