 | Chicken Soup Inside Basketball Oct 12, 2009 |
| The book was disappointingly light. I hadn't read a chicken soup for the soul book for some years so expected it to match the quality of the original books. I expected stories that had a message or a quirkiness, but found this to be more self promotion of athletes and their lifestyle choices. Good choices and worth promoting, but not unusual enough to justify being under the chicken soup name I felt. I was looking for stories that were more...? Perhaps more realinsight inside basketball, not about "I did this", "won this" and am a good guy etc... | | |  | Chicken soup Jun 23, 2009 |
| Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inside Basketball: 101:...was "okay." I bought it for my husband because I thought it had more information about Philadelphia teams. However, it was informative and can be read at one sitting. As with all books, there are many things that can be discovered. | | |  | Thrilled Contributor and Reader Mar 9, 2009 |
| As a contributor to this wonderful book, I cannot recommend it enough. As a reader of this wonderful book, I cannot recommend it enough. My contribution to this book is "The Coach from Iona," (my story of a brief encounter with Jim Valvano at a basketball camp when I was a kid) and I am thrilled that Pat Williams included it in a book filled with so many inspirational, captivating and heart-warming stories. Each gifted writer weaves a gift in the form of words, wrapping your emotions in a world of hope, dreams and possibilities. Even if basketball is not a past time for you, the message of this book is a past time for everyone. If you love basketball (as I do), then this book is a powerhouse of passionate richness, that I will read again and again, cherish always, and share energetically with all who are dear to me. I am honored to be part of a team that is so much bigger than myself...and I hope you read these stories with all your heart, your mind and your soul. | | | | Unbelievable Book!!! Feb 3, 2009 |
All I can say is, "Wow! What a terrific book!" I'm not much of a reader, but I love sports. I thought that this book would be okay because I could read one or two stories at a time and not have to read all day. Well, I couldn't put the book down.
I loved the story about Chris Paul honoring his grandfather by scoring 61 points in a game. I loved the story about Barack Obama playing hoops with the UNC Tarheels. I couldn't believe the story about Jim Jones Jr. I'm not a very emotional person, but this book got to me. I was fired up, I laughed, I even teared up because of a few stories.
I've received a few "Chicken Soup" books before, but never one like this. I am absolutely amazed at how many unbelievable stories are in the book. You won't be disappointed with this purchase. | | | Write your own review about Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inside Basketball: 101 Great Hoop Stories from Players, Coaches and Fans
