High Heat

Summary: Incredible Story
Review: Carl Deuker, whom I consider one of the best authors for young adult sports fiction, has delivered another winner. This book is just flat out great, and any sports fan will not be disapointed. It will keep you reading for hours until you finish the book. This book is definately worth it.

Summary: A great book for all baseball lovers!
Review: High Heat is a book a teenage boy who has many problems that he needs to overcome in his life. He does his best to overcome his family troubles by playing baseball, which he loves and is very good at. While doing this he runs into more problems by playing baseball, but he doesn't quit. This is a great book when you think about doing what you love and not quiting. It was an inspirational book to me and it probably to many others.

What I liked about this book was that it expresses Shane Hunter's(the main character) feelings so that you feel that you are right there doing what Shane is doing. It also has many great baseball scenes, for a person that likes to play baseball you can relate to. It has him suffering and it has him starring. The book is a great balance of good and bad.

What I didnt like about this book is that it dragged some of the scenes out too much. Some of the least important scenes had too much information to them.
