"Basketball Diaries" The Book
A 50-word critique
Jim Carroll's 'The Basketball Diaries' takes readers on a slam dunk journey through the chaotic court of addiction. It's like a literary crossover between 'Hoosiers' and 'Trainspotting,' with a dash of slam poetry. Beware: may cause literary dribbling and emotional three-pointers. Just don't try shooting free throws with the pages.

Jennifer's Awakening: A Journey from Death's Embrace
What happens when someone dies? Do they know that they are dead? Fortunately, here is a true story of a middle-aged woman who died and stirred from her slumber after two days. Jennifer, a mother of six children was living happily in a neighbourhood. Jennifer was blessed with a joyous family, their bond woven tightly with love and laughter. Their home was geographically situated where they could easily access the river and market. Jennifer had a husband who was a fisherman and could always come home with enough meals to feed his family. They were by then one of the greatest families in the village due to their unity and self-independence. As time went by, Jennifer started to become sick. Despite her efforts to carry out household and gardening tasks, the relentless progression of the disease gradually sapped her strength day by day.
