 Two-Minute Drill: Mike Lupica's Comeback Kids Dec 15, 2007
By Nikos Linardakis
"Dr. Nikos"
This is a very good book, my son is finishing it right now, it seems he appreciates sports more as a result of the book, and also that there is a tie into the sciences. Very well written, as an adult, I'm also going to read it. Well done Mike Lupica, thanks for joining the gap on sports and friendships.

The Greastest Game Ever Played Middle School Style Dec 17, 2007
And... it's good! I think it was brilliant for Mike Lupica to name his book the Two-Minute Drill. A reason I enjoyed reading this book was that it shows how one friend can make all the difference. Also, the way the main charters, Scott and Chris worked together to solve their challenges is something I liked. Chris encourages Scott to join the football team. My favorite charter is Chris because he is a great quarterback and a great friend. The football team has to run a two minute drill to win the championship. They both had personal setbacks but they accomplished their goals on and off the field. The story is told in Scott's point of view. I recommend it to people that love sports and challenges or conflicts and people that love sports fiction. Mike Lupica's style was hard to get used to but once you get in there's no getting out especially if you like sports fiction and football. The middle of the book was easier to read because I understood the story. If you have already read this book I recommend Hot Hand another book in the series. This book is a must for football fans!

 A Book Review Feb 02, 2010
Two Minute Drill by Mike Lupica is a story about a boy named Scott that moves to a new town and school. At his new school, he had no friends and a bully was always picking on Scott. One time when Scott was being picked on, the coolest kid in his grade name Chris, stuck up for Scott.
After that, Scott and Chris became friends. While Chris was one of the best football player on the team, Scott didn't think he was good at all. But since Scott's father had played football for Boston College, Scott thought he should join the football team anyway. It turned out that Scott was really good at kicking.
Scott and Chris' football team made it to the championship in their league. Scott's team was losing by one point in the fourth quarter with three seconds left. And the coach told Scott to go out and do something and if you want to find out about the end of the book you should read this book.
I liked this book a lot. It was a very good book. My favorite part of the book is the end but, you will have to read it to find out about it. My favorite character is Scott, because he thinks he's not good at football but, he keeps trying and doesn't quit the team and he finds out what he's good at in football.
I think the author wrote this book for a lesson to never give up. I recommend his book to everybody that likes football even if you don't like football it is still a very good book. I hope this book review makes you want to go out and read this book, because it is a very good book.

Great book for reluctant readers in middle school! Mar 29, 2009
By julie williams
The 8th grade boys where I teach who struggle with reading really enjoy this series of books by Mike Lupica. The stories deal with sports in a realistic way with vivid descriptions. They also include life issues that this age group is familiar with.

Excellent book fropm a good series for boys Mar 28, 2009
By Max Elliot Anderson
Because I write books for boys, publishers occasionally ask if I'd like to review their books for boys. You can find others who have reviewed these books for story and content, but I want to speak from the perspective of reluctant readers.
Today I'm pleased to comment on a series of sports related books by Mike Lupica. The books I received are:
Long Shot
Hot Hand
Safe at Home
Two-Minute Drill
The covers on these books are dramatic and each catches the action from the sport that is featured in the story. Young readers, especially boys, are sure to be attracted because of the graphics on these covers.
Mike Lupica is a sports reporter, including a weekly appearance on ESPN's The Sports Reporters. This quality adds to the authenticity of his writing as he captures the flavor of each sport.
His opening paragraphs immediately identify the main character and his circumstances. For example, in the Two-Minute Drill, the story begins, "There were a lot of bad parts that came with being the new kid."
In Hot Hand, we learn that Billy Raynor's parents have just separated.
The books have large type, shorter sentences, and lots of dialog. These are elements that I employ in my books, and I'm pleased to see them used here.
Mike's stories read quickly and should be enjoyed by avid and reluctant young readers, especially boys who love sports.
