Summary: THE ROUGH RIDE
Comment: How would you like it if you were from the projects and went to a white college, like Lonnie Jackson? The book is about Lonnie's major life changes. The Outside Shot takes place at a Midwestern college, Montclare. Lonnie makes the basketball team, gets a girl, plays well, gets involved in gambling, works with an autistic child, and on top of that has to do his homework. There is always a bad guy in a book and the basketball coach, Mr. Leeds, has that part. He rides on everyone's case for a living. Lonnie struggles with his grades as he tries to be the best ball player. He deals with the pressure of being black in a white school.
The book has non-stop action. It is what I like to call a page-turner. My favorite part was when Lonnie was called to come to the university president's office. He finds himself scared as he walks in thinking he is going to be expelled. The book is written in slang. This way of writing is to let a brother know what's going on! This book is a great read. All the brothers should pick it up.

Summary: The Outside Shot
Comment: What would it be like to go off to college in a different state where you don't know anyone? Lonnie Jackson had this experience when he came to Montclare State in Indiana from Harlem. He came to play basketball. He didn't like the coaches very much because they were always in his face. But he meet a girl named Sherry that he really liked and they started dating. His basketball team started off strong. This book is an example of hard work and teamwork.
I liked this book because it was mostly about basketball and I like to play and watch basketball. But I also liked that it was not just about basketball and that it was also about college life. If you are like me and like basketball and basketball stories then you will love the outside shot

Summary: The inside scoop of The Outside Shot
Comment: In the book "THE OUTSIDE SHOT" by Walter Dean Myers, the main character is Lonnie Jackson who is a black college student who plays basketball for Monteclare. Lonnie often finds himself in trouble. Lonnie also experiences a lot of struggles in the book like he had to work with one of his patients named Eddie. Eddie didn't talk much, but once Lonnie got to know him they became good friends. Another struggle is the school officials thought that Lonnie was cheating in a basketball game by shaving points. One of the funny events in the book found a good friend of Lonnie's stuck in a store because he wanted to count how many jelly beans were in a jar. Lonnie's friend was locked in and had to wait until the morning to get out. This is a book where you have to pay attention throughout the whole book so that you don't miss anything. I've recommended this book to everyone because it is funny and realistic.
