A Kid's Review
This review is from: Sports Great Allen Iverson (Sports Great Books) (Library Binding)
I thought the book was an ok book. It wasn't suspenseful but it did not make me want to abandon it. It did interest me when it showed how much commpassion Allen had for his family. I always wanted to turn the page quicker and quicker because as I have already mentioned he was trying to support his family and I wanted to see how he would make out trying to support his family. This was an ok book but, somebody who is interested in a compassionate boo, they should consider this book to pick.

Emphasis on the "Needs of the Spectators", March 24, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Sports Great Allen Iverson (Sports Great Books) (Library Binding)
3/24/04 author Glen Macnow's bio on Allen Iverson in a profile of Iverson via the "Sports Great"series is an applaude to the author as well as the talents of Iverson (sans his outfits and tatoos). His determination to "enjoy the sport" spills over to the spectators and obviously helps his skills in a sport where "height" had always been one of the criteria in being one of the "favorite draft picks". Playing in a town like Philadelphia (the Quaker City) who consider "the Arts" as no more important than their sports leagues ,his attitudes which are discribed even initially by MacNow ("basebasket ball's most fascinating player"; "ray energy"; "loyal"to fans,friends,family; mentored by Georgetown coach John Thompson and coach 76'ers Larry Brown and 76'ers team President Pat Croce ,)the emphasis is on the fact :the "game" is not the only place to focus on being a winner.
