4.0 out of 5 stars On the Mound with Randy Johnson, January 14, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Randy Johnson: On the Mound With... (Matt Christopher Sports Biographies) (Paperback)

On the mound with Randy Johnson by Matt Christopher is great. I think it's great because it has a lot of action. I also like it because it's about sports. It's about Randy Johnson. Randy Johnson is a pitcher in the majors. I liked it and I think if you read it you will too.
The book is easy to read. Because there are not a lot of hard words. In the middle it has black and white photos. But the photos are easy to imagine in color. The photos are of Randy Johnson playing baseball. Each photo has a caption under it.
I think Matt Chirstopher wrote this book because he wanted to show people that even though Randy Johnson played for a not very good team, he still played well. I think that after reading this book you don't have to be on a good team to play well. If you read this book and like it, there're other Matt Christopher biographies.

5.0 out of 5 stars On the Mound with Randy Johnson, December 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Randy Johnson: On the Mound With... (Matt Christopher Sports Biographies) (Paperback)

The name of my book is On the Mound with Randy Johnson by Matt Christopher. It has 116 pages, and it's a biography.
The setting is Seattle, in the years of 1982-2000. The plot tells how Randy Johnson got so good a being a pitcher.
The reason I like this book is that it's a bioghraphy. Another reason is that Randy Johnson is a good player. Also, I like that, he's won a world series.
I think this good for people that are 10-21 years old. If you like biographies, you should check out this book, On the Mound with Randy Johnson.
