The year 2020 have affected everyone one way or another. So, I will appreciate a book like to see how other fought through and learn from their stories. Also, due to the prominence of sport in the storyline, I will love to read the book. Nice review.

Basketball doesn't interest me but from reading the review, this book is about a lot more than that. It sounds interesting, so I'd like to give it a try. Great review, thanks.

I think the book has a wonderful concept but it's not for me, because I am not really into athlete and politics. So I'll pass on this. Nice review

'Official Review: House of Hoops' by June Gillam is a good exposition on the action thriller story of the book! The story has been analysed from every angle in the review for readers! The point that the story is about path to progress in a city environment is worth mentioning in the review! The reviewer's experience of reading the book was fantastic to learn for me! The review has a nice ending!

Although this book isn’t my cup of tea as I don’t often read books from this genre, I can see how the suspense would appeal to fans of it. It’s also great that it is so well edited. Thanks for an insightful review!

In addition to sounding like a compelling story, this book covers several important social issues, including Black Lives Matter. I’m not a big fan of reading about sports in books, but the other elements sound engaging enough for me to give this a try, and it seems well-written also. I’m a bit hesitant to start with this one since it’s the fourth book in a series, so I might want to start with the other books first, but it seems as though it might work as a standalone as well. Thank you for the helpful review.

2020 came with a lot. I like that the book is written in simple language. Would make it easier to understand even if it's about basketball. Nice review
