I thought Ms. Sweeney did a great job of holding my interest by keeping the story moving forward. I worked in sports for many years and also thought she touched on some great aspects of a team and each player's individuality within a team. The fact that she made Corey, the protagonist, a sensitive softy (in many respects) and not a jock star player in the stereotypical sense was refreshing. There is a scene (I don't want to spoil it) where I, as the reader, knew what Corey was up to, but the antagonist, Noah, did not. She did a beautiful job of building Noah's character until that point (e.g., relaying his ego) so that the scene (e.g., Noah's cluelessness as to what Corey was up to) was believable. I was glued to the pages for the conclusion. Lots of tension and some good action. I was curious to know how the final showdown between Corey and Noah affected the other characters. And the author shared this with us in a natural way as a part of the main story, not as an epilogue. That was quite well done.

Great suspense and humor!

To say this book is a page-turner would be an understatement. Set in a Catholic high school, the basketball team is determined to win the Miami All-City trophy. What should be an easy task, suddenly seems unattainable when new kid Noah is added to the roster. His moves are good, but his intentions aren't. After all, basketball isn't a one man show. When mysterious things begin to happen to his teammates--tampered medications, a gun in a locker, and the sudden departure of a key player--team captain, Corey, is the last to realize that Noah is behind it all. The book will keep you hooked up until the final buzzer, when Noah's launches a last ditch effort to get back at the squad. Joyce Sweeney certainly knows how to keep the reader engaged.

A fast-paced story with a genre of its own: Coming-of-Age Sports Mystery. How can a perfect year begin with disaster following disaster for the St. Phillip’s HS basketball team? How can Corey Brennan pull the team together using their strengths and weaknesses to win? Joyce Sweeney makes it clear that loving to win is important, but she created characters who knew it was more. Loving and caring about each other made them a winning team.
It's so easy It's so easy
. . . to enjoy this book. But if you are one, you'll like it even better. When Noah, a transfer from another school, tries out for the Corey's school team, he seems like a dream come true -- a high scorer to complete the roster and help them win the championship. But Corey's best friend, Luke, suspects there's more to Noah than that. And by the time Corey begins to realize that Luke may be right, it may be too late to save the team . . . and Luke. Diabolical Noah is a great character -- just when you think he couldn't be any more horrible, he tops himself! But just as important are the relationships between the team members. And readers will find sinister plots, setups, and car chases enough to keep them turning pages until it's over. I read it in one night! Bet you will too. Also, check out Sweeney's Free Fall, for the same kind of exciting story.

Even though I'm not a sports fan, I couldn't put down PLAYERS. It's full of action than never let me down and suspense that kept me reading long past bedtime. It's also funny. I laughed at the jibes, the selfish older sister, and her messed-up wedding.
When I was in high school, a long time ago I'll admit, there were four groups of boys: jocks, brains, [drug users], and everybody else. I was a brain. After reading PLAYERS, I understand the down-side of being a jock--the pressure to win, the fear of injury, being passed over, and jealously.
If you're a jock, you'll identify with Corey, the team captain, bravely struggling to win on the court and off. If not, you'll develop more compassion for the "cool" jocks. Even though they enjoy the pleasure of being able to have any girl they want, their lives probably aren't any better than your own. Read PLAYERS and see if you agree.
The ending is the best part of the book. I couldn't read it fast enough. You won't believe what the bad kid does.
