First post for Hoop Dreams:

Although I saw part of the "Hoop Dreams", I did not remember any of it today when reading the book. I really enjoyed the film, and am now thoroughly enjoying the book.  I really like how the author is writing the book from two point of views, one view describing William Gates and the other Arthur Agee.  Thus allows the reader to see the many obstacles both of these boys had to overcome to reach their goal of playing for their dream school, St. Joseph.  I am excited to see how this book develops and if Arthur will join William as a standout player on the varsity basketball team as they progress through their high school careers in their quest for a state championship, a feat that even Isiah Thomas did not accomplish before his long and famed NBA career.
