Summary: I really enjoined this book
Review: A Review by Brandi
This book is about a kid named Jerome. Jerome is a black kid going to a white school and is currently in the seventh grade. Jerome meets a kid named Bix when he has to watch his brother's baseball game. Although, they didn't play the same sport, Jerome admired Bix for is athletic abilities. They didn't talk to each other at first; Jerome just used him as a name for his opponent when he was playing basketball with himself.They finally meet in a home economics class, and were friends from then on. Bix was an emotionally troubled kid, and had to be taken out of school class, after he started to freak out in home ec. They became the best of friends after that. I really loved the way Bruce Brooks wrote this book. He always had me guessing. It was like a lot basketball games with a different plot wound in to every one. Brooks pulls it together to make one very good plot covering everything that is true in life today. It also didn't tell you what happened to Bix at the end, leaving you and your imagination to run wild. I really suggest that everyone reads this book.

Summary: A very good book that will keep you interested.
Review: Bruce Brooks did an awesome job with this book. His in depth lok at all of thbe characters helps you to see each character thouroughly. I enjoyed reading every word of this book. The characters give a realistic impersonation of what a real teenager goes through and feels like. The main character, Jerome Foxworthy, is an average 13 year old kid living in South Carolina. He plays, and loves, the game of basketball. When Jerome meets a white boy named Bix, he sees that Bix shares the same love for baseball that Jerome feels for basketball. This excites Jerome, so he decides to meet him an get to know him. During their friendship they share everything with eachother. This friendship almost mimics one of any high school boy today. I thought that this book showed what all teenagers feel and think everyday.

Summary: the best book by this author.
Review: bruce brooks's work tends to be pretty cerebral, and it's hard to care about a lot of his characters, but this book is phenomenal. you feel sorry for bix.

Summary: The Moves Make the Man
Review: I am Colin Keegan from the Walker School in Marietta. I have just finished reading The Moves Make the Man. I thought it was a wonderful book showing a lot detail describing the characters. In this book there is two main charaters, Jerome and Bix,find each other in many different situation. For example, Bix and Jerome are partners in school. Throughout the book Jerome is criticized because of his color. This book taught me to stick with your friends forever. This book is replete because it showed the reader to be nice to anyone no matter what color they are. I am looking foward to reading more Bruce Brooks books.

Summary: Read it eight times...
Review: I first read this book when I was about eleven years old. I read it about seven more times in the next year or so. I am nineteen now, but I ran across it the other day and read it again. To my surprise, it still offered everything it did when I was younger. Jerome and Bix are excellent characters, very realistic, and the story builds nicely to the unexpected ending. The real treat for me was that I hadn't read the book in so long, the ending was a surprise to me all over again. I definitely think this book is worthwhile for readers of all ages.

Summary: Weird friendship between two boys of different ethnicity
Review: I gave this book 4 stars, based upon the reasons that over all it was interesting and fun to read. On the other hand I have to say that it is a book that I would only want to read once, because I thought was the same scene repeated over and over again and you had a sense of what was going to happen(foresight). How ever I still think that the book had a good plot and how the author made the main character(Jerome) narrate the story with him in it and his white friend Bix.

Summary: No question the best book I have read
Review: I HAVE READ THIS BOOK ABOUT THREE TIMES ALREADY AND STILL WANT TO READ IT AGAIN. JEROME AND BIX ARE TWO OF THE BEST CHARACTERS THAT ANY READER, NO MATTER YOUNG OR OLD WILL COME TO LOVE. ALTHOUGH I CANNOT TOTALLY RELATE TO EITHER OF THE CHARACTERS I STILL FELT LIKE I WAS THERE PLAYING BASKETBALL IN THE DARK, WHILE BIX REFUSED TO THROW A FAKE. I READ IT FOR THE FIRST TIME WHEN I WAS ABOUT 11 BUT I STILL KEEP COMING BACK TO READ IT AGAIN. "THE MOVES MAKE THE MAN" DESERVES EACH AND EVERY AWARD IT HAS EARNED AND WILL EARN IN THE FUTURE.
