Review: The Playbook: 52 Rules to Aim, Shoot, and Score in This Game Called Life

The Playbook: 52 Rules to Aim, Shoot, and Score in This Game Called Life by Kwame Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kwame Alexander is giving advice to young readers. It's given in the form of a playbook, organized through basketball. He supports his advice with quotes from famous athletes. It's a quick read. It started out being inspirational, but somehow it felt a bit preachy by the end. I liked the examples of famous athletes that begin each section. I found those to be very inspirational. I especially liked the examples from his life. That was where the strength of this book lay.
