With a cast of unique characters, The Slam is a book that opened my eyes to the world of someone with Autism. While the synopsis talks about how this book is a sports book, to me it isn’t. Does Ender and Adelaide play tennis? Yes. But it wasn’t the focus like many other sports books. It’s a background item that doesn’t have a huge place in the book, just in their lives. The synopsis is very misleading. There is so much more to this book then what the synopsis says. So very much more.
I will admit there were times that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to finish this book. I had a hard time connecting with the characters. But I’m glad I did. I just wish there was more. It needed more. To me, it kind of ended abruptly. Sweetly, but just kind of ended.
Overall, I enjoyed The Slam. This was my first Haleigh Lovell book and I’m eager to read more. The story was unique. The idea was unique. I just needed more.
