Rating:  Summary: Not a simple "coming-of-age" novel... complex and intense. Review: A 3-hour plane ride with nothing to read compelled me to buy this... against all odds I was drawn back into the complex and intense relationships Tabitha King has created... and fell in love with her work all over again. This isn't a simple 'boy-meets-girl high school romance coming-of-age' book... Sam and Deanie are just two of the foils Ms. King uses to push our buttons while continuing her incredible Nodd's Ridge saga.
Rating:  Summary: One on One Review: I am a teenager and I love reading. I never thought anyone could beat Stephen King's writings but Tabitha King has definately done this. One on One iz the best book I've ever read in my life. My favorite for sure. Deanie and Sam's relationship makes me wish for something I've never had before. Her usage of words portrays the teen's feelings better than anyone else ever could. You can totally feel what they're feeling while reading this book. I recommend it to everyone and I hope Tabitha King writes more books like this one. The best thing that could ever happen with this book is make a movie and let Tabitha direct it.
Rating:  Summary: excellent Review: i don't know what it is about this book, but i love it. i've read it several times, and still enjoy it
Rating:  Summary: I loved it 7 years ago and I still love it now Review: I found this book back when I was a sophomore in high school in our library and loved it so much that I went out and bought a copy. It is absolutely my favorite book and has been since I graduated 5 years ago. I love her writing style and I adore the characters! If you are reading this review, BUY THE BOOK YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!! I just finished it again for the thousanth time it seems but everytime I read it I can't put it down. It draws you into Greenspark, to the Mill and into Sam and Deanie's life that you feel like these are people that you went to high school with. I would love to see another novel about these two in particular because I would love to see how they turned out and what happened to them. One thing that I found out recently was that this book is out of print which is heartbreak. I feel everyone should read this book because to me it was more than just a love story.
Rating:  Summary: My Favorite book ever Review: I have just finished reading One on One for the 9th or 10th time and I still love it as much as at the first reading. The characters are so brilliantly crafted that I can't bear to let them go and their story turns my heart inside out. Far from another teen angst love story, King manages to get at the heart of what it is like to be young and unsure and part of a world you can't control. I wish that everyone in the world would read this book, and that she would write a sequel!
Rating:  Summary: rocking tale of teenage love and basketball Review: I thought this book was pretty good.Love the character of Sam but I didn't quite like Deanie.Somehow she infuriates me but this book is worth reading.
Rating:  Summary: The most "complete" book I ever read. Review: I'll keep this short, because you really ought to be ordering the book, rather than sat here reading this! Without doubt one of the best books I have ever read (cliche, I know, but it's the truth). Amazing characters, completely unlike me in every way, but I still identified with their every thought and action. It's about teenage love and basketball - 2 topics that don't interest me in particular, yet it grabs you by the ears and hurtles you right to the end of the book. Upon reaching the end, i truly could have gone right back to the beginning and started again - in fact, I probably would have, but i had to proceed to The Book of Reuben! A hugely under-read author - she is not, as far as I am aware, published in the UK, which is completely unfathomable. I recommend One on One wholeheartedly - you won't be disappointed in it and when you have finished you will grin for days, as if you have been let into a great big secret. (And I guarantee you will hunt out her other work straight away - but remember to read it in sequence!). More please, Tabitha.........
Rating:  Summary: Perfection in Literature Review: I'm a novelist myself, and began reading Stephen King at the age of ten. About seven years ago, I was browsing through the S. Kings at the library looking for something that I hadn't read fifteen times when I ran across One on One completely by accident. Because the particular S. King that I was looking for wasn't on the shelf, I decided to "broaden my horizons" and take it for a "test drive," and what a decision that was! I couldn't put it down - I read it cover to cover twice, then bought my own copy. I've since ventured into Tabby's other offerings and they're equally wonderful, but One on One will always be my favorite read - and my favorite inspiration.
Rating:  Summary: The best novel I've ever read... Review: I've read this book over and over again for about 5 years. It was introduced to me in a college class at the University Of Maine at Orono, and I was lucky enough to have Mrs. King autograph my copy in our class one day. This book captures the teenage heart and soul perfectly, as well as life in Maine highschools. I have, and will continue to recommend this book to all, and do wish the publisher would reprint, as my copy is becoming worn, and I would like to pass a new copy on to others.
