The next review that was written by Basketball Dad on theMDsports was similar to the first one. He talks about how long it took to put it together and basically says you better give yourself a lot of time. He talks about his three kids playing with it and that they love it and get a lot of use out of it (Basketball Dad par.3)‚ which is one of my criteria. He is currently waiting for some replacement parts to be sent in to fix the rims that started breaking and says “I will update my review and add

The Silence of Six Silence of six‚ a book written my E.C. Myers‚ discusses the adventures‚ or rather the misadventures of max‚ a high school soccer player who dabbles in hacking. This book has almost no background information‚ or character build-up. Although it is easy to figure out exactly what is happening‚ it can be difficult to understand why the things that happen are happening‚ in the beginning. I thought this book was a good read‚ and it was also a quick read‚ seeing as how I am an unusually

4 to 12 years. The book is brilliantly written and full of suspense it’s as if your eyes are glued to the page.

This book is one that you will read over and over and never forget. “One Childs Courage To Survive” is the quote written on the front of the book and sums up this book extremely well.
