SSR Blog #1 Foul Trouble

In the first quarter I read Foul Trouble by John Feinstein . This a sports book, and also a little bit of African American culture. Lastly this book was 392 pages, but the font was pretty big so it is not as long as you think. This novel is about the politics in recruiting excellent basketball players during their senior year of high school. The main character is  Terrell Jamerson who is among the top basketball players in the country, if not the top. Danny Wilcox is his teammate, and the son of the coach, and the three of them have to navigate increasing pressure and schemes to find the right college and future for each of them. Terrell was not a very exciting character. He was mellow and very relaxed while being predictable as well. On the other hand his best friend Danny was a very interesting character who was always ready for a fight, and was able to make the sly est remarks. The ending threw you in for a loop that you were not expecting so plot was always interesting because you never knew what school Terrell decided to go to, and if he was going to accept all the illegal money that was coming his way. If I was to change the novel at all i would probably make his best friend Danny get some more credit as a player because he was a really good player.
