What are the teacher's objectives? Is s/he trying to find an African American novel? Boxing? Male? I believe that is the issue here. There are certainly tons of reviews for the book. I have book talked it for years. What is the forthcoming objection?

I myself am unfamiliar with the book. Does anyone have an opinion? Can anyone put me in touch with a professional book review.
