Assement
I chose this book because i like football and the cover caught my eye.my favorite part of the book occurred when mick started taking gym candy and his friend found out and mick tried to kill himself. In my opinion the book is very good, some reasons i liked the book was because it has a wonderful ending. It also had a great switch from good to bad and the last reason is it shows what steroids can do to you. Overall i would rate this book a 5 out of 5 and for athletes to read because its really good and it took a sharp turn at the end and everything was setup so good that you didn't know what was going to happen next also it gives you an example of what steroids can do to you.
