Nonfiction/ Biography

This is a biography of Michael Jordan.  This book contains random facts about Michael Jordan and it also follows his basketball career.  I like this book because it includes pictures of Michael Jordan through out his life.  The one negative part of this book is the author inserts his opinion a lot which takes away from the story.  It is easy to tell the difference between factual information and the authors opinion.  Another down side to this book is it is a little outdated.  

I believe this book would be a great resource in the classroom because it would interest boys who love basketball.  This book would also be a great book for students to use when researching famous people and their impact on society. 

Favorite quote: " Michael's parents taught him that being a great player doesn't matter as much as being a good person."
