I didn't expect to read a memoir by a basketball player this year， but I'm very happy Gallery Books sent it to me because it's great！ This book follows Carmelo Anthony from childhood right up to the 2003 NBA Draft。 Learning about his childhood in the projects in the 80s and 90s was absolutely fascinating。 He focuses on the people in his life who kept him from crime and focusing on school and sports。 It really showed how vital a support system is and how easy it can be to fall if you don't have g I didn't expect to read a memoir by a basketball player this year， but I'm very happy Gallery Books sent it to me because it's great！ This book follows Carmelo Anthony from childhood right up to the 2003 NBA Draft。 Learning about his childhood in the projects in the 80s and 90s was absolutely fascinating。 He focuses on the people in his life who kept him from crime and focusing on school and sports。 It really showed how vital a support system is and how easy it can be to fall if you don't have good people。 I feel like I know these people now because the writing and focus was so easy to get wrapped up in。 I read this book in one day。 I did get a bit lost when he started talking more about basketball because I'm not interested in the sport at all。 If you are a fan， I'm sure you'd love it。 If you like reading good memoirs and understanding people， definitely pick this one up。Thank you to Gallery Books for sending me a copy of this book for library review。 。。。more
