Gym Candy

A great book for teens

'Gym Candy' is a great book, especially for teens, and more so if the teen is in sports. This book is about a struggle to be the best. Mick Johnson, son of an NFL star, is a fantastic football player. His dad wants him to be in the NFL so bad. But when he struggles to be the best, who wouldn't do anything to overcome that obstacle. I recommend this book to anyone, because it is a great book.

Highly Recommend - you must check it out!!

Gym candy is about a high school football running back and is forced into something that he never had even imagined before his personal trainer recommended it. he wanted to be bigger and do physical stuff longer. Mick ended up taking the steroids that his trainer put him on and was the starting running back by the end of the summer. once his friend drew, the starting QB for shilshore high, suspects something is up he tries to see what is happening.

the entire book was well wrote and was a good read for everyone even if you dont like sports.

i recommend this book to anyone who likes books that make you want to turn the page and keep reading.

Great book must read

Gym Candy is a book about a kid named Mick Johnson who is a high school football player who only wants to be the best there ever was and his dad won’t accept anything less. Through out Mick’s younger life he was the oldest kid because his father held him back a year he was always the best at football till Drew came along and became his best friend. Both Mick and Drew tryout for there high school varsity team and make it but after a tough loss to there arch rival where Mick is the goat of the game, Mick deals with the struggle which all high school athletes do take performance enhancing drugs or take the high rode, which is a main struggle throughout the whole book. Mick ends up meeting this trainer from the gym he goes to and he introduces Mick to performance enhancing drugs and that’s where it all starts. Mick starts taking steroids and he starts to lose his friends and it starts to have a negative effect on his body so he stops taking them for a wile. That’s when his trainer shows him this new drug that is injected and Mick starts taking them before every game and becomes a beast on the field. That’s when Mick ends up going down the wrong way. This book is geared toward high school kids who play sports and like football. Gym Candy also is a very easy read it’s nice for kids who don’t like to read and want to start reading. This book is a great read the author Carl Deuker does a great job keeping the story together and making sure you keep flipping the pages. I find this book to be one of my all time favorites it had me going all the way to the end and I couldn’t put it down I recommend it to everyone who is into sports.

A must have!

This book shows knowingness of the ability of how to write an intersting book. I first thought when I read this it would be good at most, but it blew away my expectations with its ability to picture the image in my head. I could see them on the weight bench with everyone standing around, going up and down with their 180's. One was draggor but I cant reacall the other ones name... Overall an amazing read and I would definately reconmend it.

When is the last time you read a book? This book is the longest book I have ever read! At 387 pages! The subject of football got my attention! It is a really good book!
Description and summary of main points
This book is about a football player, Mike,that is pressured into using steroids to get bigger so he can be a starting running back! He ends up getting the spot because the starting running back got caught smoking drugs!
Evaluation
I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next! I liked it when the team was down by a touchdown and they had the ball and he was running up the middle and got in the open field. I thought they were going to score. Then a guy came out of no where and got him. Then they lost!
Conclusion
If you like football books you will love this book!
Your final review
I gave this book 3 stars because this book shows you that you don¿t have to take steroids to have a starting spot on any sport!

Great sports book

Gym Candy

The book I'm reading is Gym Candy. I think the book Gym Candy is a great book for sports players. It tells how a running back needs to get bigger and stronger and how he does it. He works out then his trainer tells him about some stuff that would help him. The book Gym Candy is a very good book and I think a lot of people would like it.

Great Book

This is a great story about a kid named Mick Johnson. He plays football and is great at it. His dad was a college football legend and when he got to the NFL he made mistakes. Mick also makes a huge mistake. Taking Steroids.

GOOD LESSON.

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING, I REALLY LIKED IT. IT REALLY TAUGHT ME A LESSON OF BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR. STERIODS MAY BE SOMETHING THAT YOU REALLY WANT TO BE BETTER AT FOOTBALL BUT IT CAN BE VERY HARMFUL. THIS BOOK WILL AND BE A BOOK THAT WILL BE HARD TO PUT DOWN, I LOVED IT, AND YOU WILL TOO...AND JESSE LOVED IT TOO.

SINCERLY MAYURA, AND JESSE

good book for teens

I've read a good book with the title of Gym Candy in an amazing football story about this boy named Mick Chambers and his dad wanting him to be a big shot.

The author of the book is Carl Dueker. He wrote this book to tell a life changing story. The characters of this story are Mick Johnson an his father who had the chance to go pro but went down the wrong path him an his father have a lot in common him an his father are running backs an Mick doesn't perform to the best of his abilities Mick's dad wants him to go pro but the way Mick's been playing he's not going to go. This book takes place in long shore at a public High school .Mick doesn't seem to get how good he is an hasn't been playing so good but he finds a way to keep his head up.
I felt that as a football player you will have your up and down times and Mick had those times. He found a way to appreciate the things he has and runs with it .This book is good for football players an can make you have an up lifting spirit.
