Prime Choice: Perry Skky Jr. Series #1 Paperback – July 1, 2007

This is a great book for teens and young adults. It's hip and with the programme and talks about stuff that teens and young adults talk about and deal with on a daily basis. Things like curfew, sex, virginity, going steady, dealing with parents - it's all here. There's no preaching down or preaching at - just real talk. I'm a mother and I enjoyed the book. It also gave me MORE insight into what kids deal with today. Sometimes as adults, we forget what growing up is like. Even if you are not a christian you will enjoy this book.

Being a Young African American Christian Male myself, this book indeed shows the stuggles that young men go through trying to live there lives on the straight and narrow with everything that swarms around the world. I have read the first two books in the series, and i plan on buying the next two. Great Book! Keep up the phenomenal work.

My son is really enjoying this book. All of Stephanie Perry Moore's books are great. I have already ordered the next series. My daughter,neices and nephews are enjoying her books also. They have completed other series, so I am continusly ordering books. The author is outstanding!!!!

Good reading. The book arrived in a timely manner but the appearance was not up to par. Seller did say it was a library book so I expected some ware but the pages were stained. My daughter likes to put her books on her shelf after reading it is on the floor now. I would not purchase from this seller in a hurry.

While he was on the last paragraph of the book, my Afr. Amer. nephew demanded (you know teenagers) that I send him the next book in the series. Guess he liked it.

The books was in the condition as stated. I will be purchasing from this seller again.

Perry Skky, Jr. is a very talented high school football player, and he's being recruited by the best colleges. He's an A student and a popular guy in school. It seems a lot of girls want him, but he's not like his player friends, Damarius & Cole. Perry's heart belongs to one girl, and that's Tori. He desires to share all of himself with her, but Tori's Christian beliefs keep him from getting what he wants. Being a Christian himself, Tori's decision is the right choice for both of them, but Perry's relationship with the Lord is a bit off track, so he doesn't always have God's will in mind. He does, however, get to where honoring God becomes his top priority... eventually, that is.I don't know the first thing about football, so the many chapters about college recruiting and football games weren't interesting. But that's just me. However, Stephanie Perry Moore has enough knowledge about football to hold the attention of every reader who has an interest in this sport.Perry's relationships with his family, his boys (their situations helped him to start appreciating being abstinent), and the opposite sex (quite a bit of drama there) - that is what kept me turning the pages. Perry rededicates his life to God during the story, getting his walk with the Lord back on track. He intends to put God first in all that he does, and by the end of the story he is beginning a relationship with a girl who feels as strongly about pleasing God as he does.After reading this first book in the Perry Skky, Jr. Series, I did not hesitate to purchase Book 2 - Pressing Hard. I'm interested in finding out how well Perry resists temptation with his new girlfriend; someone he became attracted to when he claimed he was in love with Tori.I recommend this novel to teens and adults who love to read YA fiction. And as for young people who are reluctant readers, this could be the one that ignites a passion for reading.

PRIME CHOICE by Stephanie Perry Moore is the first book in a series featuring Perry Skky, Jr., a high school senior and star wide receiver. He is blessed with academic and athletic abilities, however his hormones are raging and his girlfriend wants to remain a virgin until marriage. Thus, this is the crux of the story, Perry coming into his own amidst the controversy of his life and those of his family and friends.For Perry there is pressure to perform athletically and to lead the typical jock life, which he resists for the most part, standing on his Christian principals, until he decides to break up with his girlfriend for a walk on the wild side. This decision brings about a host of problems for Perry. Consequently, his two friends find themselves in trouble due to unprotected sex and Perry carries the weight of their issues on his shoulders. Within his family, he literally catches his father in an uncompromising situation, which adds to his burdens, and finally, the ever-present recruiting machine is on his back. What is a young man to do with all of this pressure?The author has managed to authenticate Perry and his friends based on their backgrounds and she demonstrates that while you may be a product of your environment, you can always change the course of your life and not use that as a crutch. PRIME CHOICE is full of situations and the resolutions teens may face, however it is coupled with wisdom that is a direct reflection of family upbringing. The positions the teens find themselves in, the lengths they go to rectify their problems and their cyclical behavior is very realistic and one which speaks to the heart.Reviewed by Dawn R.
