Slo Mo is basically a long running joke about a dorky white kid, who grew up in a cult in a cave, who joins an NBA team because he is 7'8" tall. Reilly puts him with some colorful characters drawn from real life, including Charles Barkley, Bryant Reeves, Mahmous Abdul Rauf, and Phil Jackson. He is pursued by representatives from Nike, McDonalds, and other franchises to be a spokesperson, but he likes the shoes he already has and prefers to eat at Whey To Go. There are some funny scenes, but not much of a story line. Rick Reilly is one of my favorite sports columnists. He needs to keep his day job. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Growing up in a bizarre cave-dwelling cult in Colorado, seven-foot, eight-inch Maurice "Slo-Mo" Finsternick knows nothing about the NBA--that is until the day he's discovered and becomes the hottest sports icon in the country. This uproariously funny satire of pro sports is Rick Reilly at his very best. The bestselling author of the classic Missing Links has delivered again with this dead-on tale of "Slo-Mo" Finsternick, a genius player with a patented thirty-foot hook shot. Eventually, though, Slo-Mo begins to move away from his kind, truthful, polite, and self-effacing ways and gradually learns to behave like a famous athlete. Can the big man's innocence survive the charms of the big show? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
