Book Review
So, overall i thought this book was pretty good, not fantastic but worth the read. Some parts were not very engaging. During the off season for the team, the reading wasn't very interesting. But, later in the book at a summer camp Bull went to they had to save a counselor who cut him self severely. So, the action parts at the summer camp and when the team won the championship were the best parts of the book in my opinion.
Quotes
"We're gonna set the world on fire, and we ain't never gonna die."
That quote was after Jeff and Bull won the championship. I think it really shows how you feel when you achieve your goal. It makes you feel on top of the world, like Jeff and Bull Felt.
