Gym Candy 2 - Pat Murphy

I have been getting very far in the novel “Gym Candy,” by Carl Deuker. It’s very interesting, and I see a great resemblance to one of my high school best friends. I don’t exactly want to mention his name because you could easily look him up. But he was an all star in grade school JFL leagues, and was watched by high school couches. Just like Mick, my best friend made it on varsity freshman year. But like anyone in sports, not playing or not being the best stinks. Being a human, we strive to win in my eyes. Like Mick, I love supplements!!! I have probably tried almost everything at GNC as far as creatine or protein powders. Unfortunately, I am very jealous of Mick. His daddy pays for his supplements; I always have paid for my own stuff which can add up if you have ever been to GNC. Mick, than joins his local gym… As I stated in my first couple sentences, this book reminds me of a friend of mine. Well, as soon as he was old enough to go, he joined Gold’s Gym. But as far as a trainer who suggests steroids? I believe that’s very illegal and he should have lost his job!!! That part upset me, when someone wants to be all they can be, I wouldn’t suggest an illegal solution that will destroy his body. The book is kind of slow moving, so I’m hoping him being on drugs really gets things stirred up!!!!
