Teammates: Karl Malone and John Stockton

This is the first time I have ever read this book. I thought it was great. This book proves you can be of different color,different religion, and of different build and still be best friends. Even though I don't like the Utah Jazz, I thought this book described the Utah Jazz,Stockton, and Malone very well.This book proves that even if you were once poor, you never forget where you came from.I would read this book or another book by this author if I could.

Wow. I thought I knew everything there was to know about Karl Malone and John Stockton, then I picked up Mr. Schnakenberg's book. All I can say is, he's painted a vivid portrait of two TRUE hardwood superstars. Their antics on and off the court are entertaining and inspiring. The writing is crisp,and the grammar is impeccable.

I admit, when my daughter brought this book home for a book report, my expectations were high. We both loved Mr. Schnakenberg's Scottie Pippen book, and didn't think he could top it. We were both pleasantly surprised. Once again, he has put together an informative and entertaining book. I know it is officially a "Young Adult's" offering, but I was not ashamed to borrow it from my daughter and bring it to work to read over lunch. When a co-worker noticed it he picked it up out of curiosity. Now my daughter has to borrow it from the library again so HE can finish it. I hope Mr. Schnakenberg continues to provide his own personal brand of wit to both young and old alike. He is rapidly distinguishing himself as one of our premiere "Young Adult" authors.

Schnakenberg's dazzling dual biography of John Stockton and Karl Malone proves once again that he is the master of middle grade biography. I heartily recommend this rich tapestry of basketball storytelling.
