You don't want to stop reading this book!
I really enjoyed this book.Most books I usually put down
but this one I couldn't stop reading.I could really relate to
the story and it made me think alot about lifeand the choices
I have to make at my age.I loved the characters and the honesty
of Tim with himself and his friends. I would love to read about
Tim again as he gets older just like me.

Reflections of our lives through our children
Outside In is a book that sneaks up on you and leaves you with a clearer understanding of the choices that we all face in our lives.By simplifying the issues and relationships into those of a child, the author gave me a non-threatening way to introspect on the assumptions of duty that I place on myself.

Bravo to a well developed story that unlocks one of the plagues of our culture...an unrelenting duty to "be the best" regardless of the personal cost.With such a busy life, short respites like Outside In that provide clarity are too few and far between.

Tennis, teenagers, trials tribulations and finally triumph
Outside In starts fast and never loses its momentum as it takes the reader inside the mind and heart of a teenage sports prodigy who just wants to be able to do things like everyone else (after all, what early teen doesn't?). This well-written, carefully developed story is about the lessons any young person learns while trying to find and develop their own personality. The multi-layered plot touches upon parent-child realtionships, peer-pressure, child prodigy issues, the internal conflict and sacrifice of finding one's true passion and of course, young (and often-times awkward) love.
The authour is at ease in his writing style and allows the reader to touch the physicality of the story via effective metaphorical passages. The pages turn quickly and the reader immediatley identifies with all the well-developed characters. For the teenager reading this, you will undoubtably be able to think of many people you know that could play each character. For those a little older, Outside In is a fantastic trip back to a time that is not yet too distant for tangible memories.

Best Book About Kid's Sports Ever

Outside In is Outstanding
Outside In is a well-written and engaging book.I read it cover to cover in a short time and thoroughly enjoyed it.The author is able to relate the feelings of a teenager who is committed to an individual sport that he loves and the sacrifices he has made to excel in the sport.The book describes the excitement of competition, the dedication of an athlete, the comradary that sports can bring and the feelings of isolation that can come with competing in an individual sport.It also touches on issues of teenage romance and the desire to fit in with the popular crowd.This book has something for everyone!It's a must read. ...
