On... Last Shot by John Feinstein

I thought I would enjoy this book. After all I love college basketball and especially March Madness but this book disappointed in many respects.

At the beginning of the book I held out high hopes because Feinstein set up a rather intriguing premise. Now, perhaps I started to develop a little bit of antipathy towards him because of the main character's anti-Duke bias. Of course I don't mean that literally but anyway.

While this book is a mystery I do not condone the rather unethical actions that Stevie and Susan Carol took to solve the mystery. Added to that the resolution of the mystery took quite a cliche turn and rather farfetched turn at that.

I don't recommend this book.
