In Slam!, Walter Dean Myers truly paints a vivid picture in your mind with his artful descriptions of the characters. Good descriptions make any book better by making you believe you are standing next to a 6'7" basketball player or standing on the the top of a rooftop in Harlem, about to get in to a fight. This book appeals to everyone. If you like sports, it has it. If you like romance, it has it. It even speaks of crack dealing(I do not suggest this activity just making the point that if you do this this would be the book for). It also has lots of talk about a video project which connects to the electronics-ey type and the kind who like that form of creativity. This book really does have something for everyone, it even has lots of talk of school work! The most ridiculous thing i can think of is it even has grandmas in hospitals, now I don't personally know you but this might just be your favorite thing in the world, your a sick person if you do like grandmothers in hospitals, but this book has it! YOU should read this book.
