Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Rating: four and half stars.
"Miracle on 49th Street" is another literary triumph for Mike Lupica.This is a sweet,gentle story done to perfection.Molly Parker sets out to find her long estranged father,NBA/Boston Celtics star
Josh Cameron,after her mother dies.When she turns up and confronts at a team event,Josh at first refuses to believe that she's his daughter.But Molly perseveres,and what
follows is a sweet,funny,and touching story of two similar people getting to know each other.The best thing about the book is how skillfully Lupica
develops the growing relationship between father and daughter.He writes
beautifully,and once again shows himself to be a master of character
development.His people are real,flesh and blood,three dimensional human
beings who instantly grab the reader and hold interest in the story from start to finish.Molly and Josh really are father and daughter.They are THAT much alike-smart,strong,no-nonsense,yet also sweet and loving under
that tough exterior.It's wonderful to watch each discover that the other is not what they seem to be at first.Sam and Mattie are every inch their equals,hoots to boot,and they almost steal the book.Forget the age range
for this lovely story-it's for EVERYONE!Enjoy!

About the Author / 作者介绍: |
| Mike Lupica is one of the most prominent sports writers in America. His longevity at the top of his field is based on his experience and insider's knowledge, coupled with a provocative presentation that takes an uncompromising look at the tumultuous world of professional sports. Today he is a syndicated columnist for the New York Daily News, which includes his popular "Shooting from the Lip" column, which appears every Sunday. He began his newspaper career covering the New York Knicks for the New York Post at age 23. He became the youngest columnist ever at a New York paper with the New York Daily News, which he joined in 1977. For more than 30 years, Lupica has added magazines, novels, sports biographies, other non-fiction books on sports, as well as television to his professional resume. For the past fifteen years, he has been a TV anchor for ESPN's The Sports Reporters. He also hosted his own program, The Mike Lupica Show on ESPN2. In 1987, Lupica launched "The Sporting Life" column in Esquire magazine. He has published articles in other magazines, including Sport, World Tennis, Tennis, Golf Digest, Playboy, Sports Illustrated, ESPN: The Magazine, Men's Journal and Parade. He has received numerous honors, including the 2003 Jim Murray Award from the National Football Foundation. Mike Lupica co-wrote autobiographies with Reggie Jackson and Bill Parcells, collaborated with noted author and screenwriter, William Goldman on Wait Till Next Year, and wrote The Summer of '98, Mad as Hell: How Sports Got Away from the Fans and How We Get It Back and Shooting From the Lip, a collection of columns. In addition, he has written a number of novels, including Dead Air, Extra Credits, Limited Partner, Jump, Full Court Press, Red Zone, Too Far and national bestsellers Wild Pitch and Bump and Run. Dead Air was nominated for the Edgar Allen Poe Award for Best First Mystery and became a CBS television move, "Money, Power, Murder" to which Lupica contributed the teleplay. Over the years he has been a regular on the CBS Morning News, Good Morning America and The MacNeil-Lehrer Newshour. On the radio, he has made frequent appearances on Imus in the Morning since the early 1980s. His previous young adult novels, Travel Team, Heat, Miracle on 49th Street, and the summer hit for 2007, Summer Ball, have shot up the New York Times bestseller list. Lupica is also what he describes as a "serial Little League coach," a youth basketball coach, and a soccer coach for his four children, three sons and a daughter. He and his family live in Connecticut. |
