Why I Chose to Read "Swagger"

I chose to read the book Swagger because when I first saw it seemed very interesting. When I first looked at the cover I saw a person playing basketball, I immediately got drawn in because I like basketball too. I could relate to it so I decided to pick it up. Right when I was going to check it out of the library I remembered the saying, "Never judge a book by it's cover." Thus I decided to read the first page. Once I read about the main character who was trying to get recruited by a college I immediately got drawn in. With the book being so realistic I could not help but think of me in his shoes. The book was so good that I couldn't put it down.
