who are interested in sports.

I am going to review Juiced. Juiced was written by Eric Walters. I chose to read this book because the cover and title made it seem interesting. I thought that it was a good book. It had a really good story. It was about this football star named Michael Monroe. His team wins the state championship. Then their coach retires so they get another one. He has changed everything it is nicer and better than before. But then the new head coach and the strength coach want him to take steroids and he does. Then he starts having anger problems and punches holes in his wall so he quits taking them. Then the coach and strength coach get arrested for trafficking steroids. They get their old coach back. Michael and his team volenteer to tell the cops show more about everything. The book did meet my expections but i wish it would have gone threw the rest of the season. But it was a good book. show less

High school student Michael is torn when he is told to use steroids during his football season. He thinks it is cheating but is told he should use the steroids in order to compete against other teams whose players use the "juice" too

I liked the part where Mrs. Perkins called all the teammates for a meeting with their coach when everybody thought they were going to meet with the new coach and then coach from teh past year came in and the teammates were surprised and the coach told them the new coach and his accomplice Tony were arrested for using and distributing steroids "The Juice" to pro college and high school students. And then Michael and ten other guys said they were pressured into taking them and coach said he was not disappointed at them because they told the truth. AHS/TG
