REVIEWbyU - Slam, by Nick Hornby

About the books reader Sirani has given 3 stars to Nick Hornby's Slam. Here's what else she had to say:

Slam by Nick Hornby was an intriguing perspective of a teen. In this story, Alicia and Sam have an unlikely friendship/relationship but become good friends after a while. Their relationship is pretty intense and as Sam becomes a teen father is realistic. Alicia still wants and loves her baby, Roof but Sam doesn't. Sam learns that there is more to life than being a skater and Tony Hawk fan. Sam has difficulty accepting Alicia's pregnancy and birth. Alicia senses fear for Sam as he dreams about the past, and doesn't bother with the present things happening, like he had Alzheimers. Before, he had a good memory. Skating and Tony Hawk and friends who hung out at the Skate Park only mattered to him. Learning the reality of life gives an indication about what the boy is thinking. I rated this book 3 stars because I thought it was good in a way, but it's not a fun book!
