Slam by Nick Hornsby

I am a Nick Hornsby fan as well. This book is a YA book so the intended audience is Teens. I really liked it. It is written from the point of view of a teenage father. Typical of Hornsby's books, the characters are not flat nor is the situation simplified. I liked this book. It is one of those books that suggests a rational outcome to a challenging situation without resorting to judgemental emotionalism.

I think you nailed it on the head right there- that is exactly I think what makes Nick Hornby's books so good. His characters are complex, and his plots and outcomes realistic!
