renatasnacks 's review for:
The Playbook: 52 Rules to Aim, Shoot, and Score in This Game Called Life
by Kwame Alexander
I'm fully NOT the target audience of this book and I think it will be truly beloved by young sports fans. For me, it was a quick, engaging read. It's kind of a scrapbook of ~inspirational sports quotes~ and short poems and memoir-y snippets from Kwame Alexander's child/teenhood athletic endeavors. The photographs are nice, too. It's put together in a way that's easy to just devour quickly and it like, really hammers home the message that effort and practice are important and nobody is just good at things overnight. Which is a great message! But also, somehow, it doesn't feel super didactic, even though...it is in fact extremely didactic. But in a good way?!
