I liked this book a lot because it talks about how the struggles of a harlem teenager basketball was what he had but by the end of the book he discovers that he has friends and if he doesn't give up on his dream it could come true. AHS/JD  edspicer | Oct 14, 2009 |  I think that Hoops was a very good book. i liked it not only because it was about basketball, but because it was good. (  ) ElizabethHank | Sep 4, 2009 | This book was very interesting I like reading Walter Dean Myers so I knew what to expect when I first started reading this. I was always wanted to keep reading. The basketball aspect made this story even more interesting to me. I thought it was kind of cheesy when he said that Cal played with Oscar Robertson and other great NBA stars ( ) nm.spring08.k.christ | May 30, 2008 | This is another one of Myers' great books. Lonnie tries outfor the basketball team but when he finds out that his coach is Cal (who he thinks is a drunk0 he is not happy. But, as the book progresses Cal reveals more fascinating information about himself. The book seems to flow around basketball, but has a lot of other parts of the plot to flow with the game. (  ) ondrejspursfan | Sep 11, 2007 | Lonnie Jackson remembers one of the things that his father said before he split was that “his days were piling up on him.” At seventeen Lonnie is starting to feel the same way. Then one evening he goes over to the playground to shoot some baskets and he trips over a wino lying in the middle of the court. He doesn’t know it at the time, but he’s just met his future coach. Myers expertly delivers fast paced basketball action, suspense, crime, and a touch of romance in this realistic forerunner to urban street lit.
