Takedown (Matt Christopher Sports Classics)

Rating:
Summary: Nice After-School Special
Review: After reading the wonderful wrestling book, PINS, I decided to read some others in the wrestling fiction category, and was surprised to see so many. Most of the others are geared toward a younger reader, and Takedown is no exception. It's kind of corny, involves some traditional family problems, the main character's problems in facing work needs, his struggles with his father, and a budding romance with a girl. There are some corny aspects that were amusingly covered in the film version starring hunk Lorenzo Lamas, and Edward Herrman as the non-jock classics teacher forced to become the coach. Takedown's a bit cliche, but a nice book for young kids. But for a more literary approach, read PINS.

Summary: You should read this BOOK!
Review: I think the book Takedown is a great book.I gave five stars because it talks about per-pressure,and tells what you should do if kids are picking on you.I liked the part when Sean beat the Bully in a wreasling match,and he won the trophy.I didn't like the part when the bully and his friends beat up Sean fo wearing this pen that said "I'am the best".Sean met this guy who thought Sean some wreasling moves,that know body nows about.Why'll they were talking Sean foung out that he was a referefor wreasling.

Summary: Takedown, By Matt Christopher
Review: Takedown was about a boy named Sean who gets into a lot of fights. He was good at wrestling and he joined for the first time. He wrestles in three matches and wins the first two; you'll have to read the book to find out whether or not he wins the third match. I liked this book because it was really cool and talked about wrestling and things that relate to my life at school. I urge you to read it.
