Great Reading for WNBA Fans!
Anyone who’s a WNBA fan of any team other than the LA Sparks knows that the Sparks have gained the reputation of being the team you “love to hate”! But also, as a WNBA fan you have to give credit and your respect to all the women who have been responsible for the love and excitement we have for the league. They have blazed the trail for all the young talents we see today.Lisa Leslie is definitely one of those women. In her book, “Don’t Let The Lipstick Fool You”, you will get a better view of Lisa the person as well as the athlete. She shares her life, her beliefs, and her career. I truly enjoyed the book and highly recommend it to any WNBA fan.

School Project
I purchased this book for my daughter’s school project. I liked that the digital version came with it because she could use it for her report without having to wait for the hard copy to arrive.

Simone’s Review
I enjoyed the book Don’t Let the Lipstick Fool You by Lisa Leslie. The book was written in a lot of detial and did not lack anything. I learned a lot about her childhood and also why she’s the way she is today. My sister and mother also enjoyed the book also and I feel that this is a great book for anyone to pick up and read.

Interesting…A Lot I Didn’t Know
I picked up this book because of the respect for the athletic skills that Lisa Leslie shows on the court and the class she shows off the court. However, I learned a lot more than that. I had no clue that she had grew up in a home where her mother was a truck driver and a post office employee. I didn’t know that she lived with her aunt and was helped out by her uncles in the game of basketball. I didn’t realize that she had basically raised her younger sister, Tiffany and that her older sister had stolen her identity and ruined her credit. It was an informative book about one of the best basketball players of our generation. She was very open about things that happened like the fact that her college coach left because even though she had a better record than the mens coach they wouldn’t pay her like it. I felt that Ms. Leslie was very very honest about how she felt during games and in her life about numerous subjects. I would highly recommend this book if you are interested in finding out what makes Lisa Leslie tick but also if you are just looking for a good autobiography of a strong woman that had to overcome numerous obstacles in her life.
