" Great read for my teenage son who is a basketball player, reader and a Christian. "
" I'm not a big fan of sports writing. Too many cliches and inside references make it hard for me to follow. But I was curious about Lin's backstory, and for that, this short book served its purpose. "
" The author said he wrote it in three weeks so don't expect thrilling prose. It gets the job done. I got the background I wanted about Lin and I started to think more about how brave he must be to always give the credit to God and his teammates before crediting himself. "
" This is really a story of an immigrant family whose patriarch discovered basketball in the 1970's, and a very strong Chinese-American Christian community which nurtured and guided Jeremy's character. "
" Jeremy Lin is truely inspirational. I can see why people follow him and look up to him. I did not know that I learned about him in this book. The writer has a way of keeping you interested especially if you are a basketball fan. "
