Pop                                     Completed                           Read for 8 Hrs.

       Pop is about a teenager who dreams of becoming quarterback for the undefeated High school team. While practicing own his own, a crazy old man comes and helps him practice. The old man is extremely skilled at the sport, and he teaches the boy how to tackle people; painfully and hard. Eventually the oy finds out that the erratic man is a former NFL player, and that he suffers from Alzheimer's. The boy continues to learn, plays a few pranks, and grows a strong attachment to Charlie. Then, at the end of the book, events occur that will leave the reader full of emotion. ( If you really want to find out what happened, read the book)

        I liked this book because it was very emotional and gave me an insight into the sport of football. I don't think i liked the book as major football fans would, but i enjoyed it none the less. I didn't understand some of it, as at parts it was confusing; you couldn't tell if the author was making a joke or being real. However if you are a real football fan and love readingI suggest this book.

        I give this book 3 stars. ( It wold get 4 if i liked football)
