I have just finished the book King James and think that it was a good book not great though. This book got boring, and times loose track of what I was reading about because it would change the main idea so many times. They would be talking about Lebron and then get side tracked and talk about someone else and then would come back to Lebron and would have forgot about what the book was talking about. The good thing about the book was how in much depth it would go in to the game of basketball, like when they would talk about the games he would be playing in and the feelings that he would get before, during and after the game. Being a basketball player myself you could really relate on what he was feeling. I also liked how much they would say how hard it is to do the game of basketball stressing on how much practice that James had to get where he is and that nothing that he got came easy. This book had a message of never giving up on your dream and always do what you want no matter where you are from. This book poses a lot of questions at the end like whether Lebron would stay with his home NBA team Cleveland or would he want to be traded and try something new. I did like this book and wonder if they will do a part two of it ten years from now.
I find that I skip through a lot of biographies too. I remember I reading Neil Armstrongs biography and it had far too much information that I really didn't find interesting. I think there needs to a be a fine balance. Nothing wrong with skimming a book until you find the interesting parts.
