![]() ![]() When his parents leave for a month to go overseas, Noah's grandmother is supposed to move in. The amusing part of his life is his grandmother. ![]() Noah loves Sam, the third in their group, but Sam dates the school jock. They are going to get girls, play baseball, and have a great year. Noah and Walt, best friends, determine that this year looms as one of their best. Kwame Alexander reads the audio, and he does an amazing job. ( )Īs with all Kwame Alexander books, Swing employs a beautiful rhythm as the story unfolds. I wasn’t overly impressed by this book, but I’d suggest it for any fans of new poetry. It pulled you in enough to keep you reading, while also doing its best to tell the story.įor that, I rate Swing 3 stars. ![]() One thing I will admit about this, though, is that the poetry did cast deep and emotional feelings. All in all, it really didn’t come across as too exciting or spell-binding. Things began to repeat, such as Noah’s infatuation with his best friend Sam, and Walt’s over-eccentric-ness being. The story, told through poetry, went at a turtle’s pace, and I’m not talking about the ninja turtles. I immediately became bored during the first twenty pages. That, however, fell the moment I started reading. But upon reading the synopsis of this one, I was desperate for more. I’ll admit, I’m not a huge fan of sportsy stories, and I don’t normally read male POV centered stories. Swing is a book that unexpectedly caught my interest. *I WAS PROVIDED A PHYSICAL COPY FROM THE PUBLISHER IN EXCHANGE FOR MY HONEST REVIEW. ![]()
