Pop Kindle Edition

Pop by Gordon Popovitch is a book about a kid in high school named Marcus trying to fit in at a new school and football team. Marcus meets an adult named Charlie, who turns out to have played in the NFL. Marcus finds out that Charlie’s family is hiding a secret about him, and it’s up to Marcus to help Charlie. The book is an emotional and touching story. It’s also a great read, even if you don’t like football that much.I really liked this story because I could relate to a lot of things Marcus was going through. Marcus just moved into a new school and is trying to fit in, which I could understand. I also liked this story because I’m interested in football, so the parts where they were playing football were interesting to me.There are some ordinary parts about the book, but there are many special things in the stories. The characters in the story are very stereotypical (new guy, jock, cheerleader). The characters interact in a very interesting way, especially how the character of Charlie ties them all together. The many minor conflicts and disagreements that occurred were typical and ordinary, but the main problem that Marcus faces is very unique and special.After the problem is “solved,” the happy ending was short lived. The story ended in a sad, but satisfying way. Overall, the story was very entertaining (I read it in a single day because I couldn’t stop) and even inspired me to help people in need.In conclusion, Pop is a great story. The plot is interesting, and the end will make readers emotional. Football fans will also not be disappointed because football is mentioned a lot in this story. Readers can learn the importance of friendship and be inspired to help a friend in need. I wouldn’t recommend it to kids too small, because there are a couple of romance scenes and complicated football terms (though it is appropriate for kids around middle school and up). I would recommend this book to readers who are up to reading a decent-sized book about football and friendship.

Gordon Korman was one of the few authors that I trusted to provide me with wholesome, entertaining books. I was wrong to trust him. I couldn’t get through the first several chapters without being disgusted. I read a review that said there was mild, but appropriate romance. I don’t care what category you would put the junk I read under, but it was definitely NOT appropriate romance. Just in case there are young eyes reading this review, I will not disclose the inappropriate comments. But parents, be warned: I would never let my children read this book, and you shouldn’t either.

My fifth grade pen pal recommended Pop as his favorite book. I’m glad I chose to read it too. It has a fairly complex plot and it kept me interested and entertained. It opens up a way to talk about concussions with him too.

You should really make a sekond one with all of the sa.e characters but a different plot or without Charlie. But this was probably the best book I have read all year. Plzz make another one just like it. P.S. Couldn't put the book down.

I hated football when I was a kid. If this book had been around when I was in junior high, it would've inspired me to give the sport another shot. I read anything by Gordon Korman--he's an amazing writer--but this is by far my favorite of his many sports books.

This has been on of the best books I have ever read. It has drama, tragedy and many more. Recommend for Jr high students, enjoy.
