review 1: guys read sports pages is the third book in the guys read series. it has all kinds of small stories most of them are realistic fiction. all of the stories relate to sports and some characters are real life sports players. the conflict is normally about teams losing but others are about a hate for players on the yankees. i liked this book because i really enjoy sports books but i also like humor and that is what is in this boo. i recommend this to sports fans but also enjoy humor. i gave this book 4 stars because there are some stories that are slow and hard to understand but others are humerous and sports packed.
review 2: Sport fans are not to be messed with. We know what we want scholarships, girls and boys, championships, athletic people, liars,and
... more"Trophies". In New York "Sports" is just a normal day. "Championships" means Trophies. "Scholarships" is to be happy and to be proud of. Jon Scieszka delivers all that good stuff in THE SPORTS PAGES which opens with an exciting climax: he takes a deep breath, swings the bat and there the ball goes up in the sky, thinking if he will make a home run or not. He stops and there look at him go running to get to 1st base but instead he makes it to HOME BASe!!!!! Enter Max a shy quiet boy who moved to this new city. He wants to make new friends without anyone trying to judge him. He plays tennis but his mom says "TENNIS IS NOT A SPORT!" Max lies to Molly that Beau Fletcher is his dad.
