I disliked the character George Finkle because he blackmails Eddie. He makes Eddie an offer; if Eddie misses the shot he will give his moms job back and give him a free college scholarship. He’s a lousy man. This book is a book I wouldn’t know if I would be recommend to people. It’s not very good, but it’s not bad.
