About this listen

High school senior point guard Jonas Dolan is on the fast track to a basketball career until an unthinkable choice puts his future on the line.

Levi was simple, like a child. It was the best thing about him, and it was the worst, too.

When high school senior Jonas moves to Seattle, he is glad to meet Levi, a nice, soft-spoken guy and fellow basketball player. Suspense builds like a slow drumbeat as listeners start to smell a rat in Ryan Hartwell, a charismatic basketball coach and sexual predator. When Levi reluctantly tells Jonas that Hartwell abused him, Jonas has to decide whether he should risk his future career to report the coach.

Pitch-perfect basketball plays, well-developed characters, and fine storytelling make this heartbreaking psychological sports novel a slam dunk.

Good Story; okay narration

I really liked the content of this story, but the story telling was just okay and the narration was subpar. The author needed to do a bit more character and situation building. The story was also quite predictable. But regardless of the faults, the content was great. The story moved quickly and had a great message. I always love a good sports story, and this one was just that: a solid, good story.

Boring

I survived it but man was it slow. It reminded me of someone just talking and talking ambit saying nothing. Boring read.
