Testimonials for Choker
Christian Sia, Readers' Favorite Awards judge: 5 stars
"Choker" is a brilliant coming-of-age novel that will have great appeal to sports fans, a novel that immerses the reader in the drama of high school. Bob Moseley made me care about his protagonist. The narrative is done in a voice that touches different emotions in readers, at times it is smooth and confident, at times humorous. Themes of friendship, sports, and personal development are developed in a very skillful way. "Choker" is written at a masterly pace and in captivating prose. A delightful read, indeed.
Literary Titan: An engrossing sports story
Mark Chamberlain is a high school reserve basketball player tapped to shoot the two most important baskets of the high school state championship game....the crowd is roaring....his heart is pounding...and he chokes. This novel is about how he overcomes what could be a life-defining moment, and the hardships and achievements he encounters along the way. The writing is crisp and the story moves along cleanly -- the descriptions of the games really put the reader right in the action and read true. This is suitable for young adults, middle school and up (including adults) who enjoy sports, teamwork, and a great coming of age story. I would recommend this!
Author Drew Bridges: Timeless sports story, 5 stars
Bob Moseley navigates the issues faced by young people of mixed race and other class distinctions with a combination of tact and honesty. The universal struggles for self-worth and overcoming failure and loss are skillfully represented, especially in the relationship between the main young character and his father. And running through the personal story is the ever-present challenge and drama on the basketball court. The young adult reader (as well as aging sports fans) will appreciate the action on and off the court.
Love2Read Amazon reviewer, 5 stars
An engaging and uplifting coming-of-age story told with humor and pathos, I really enjoyed Choker. It’s perfect for teenagers, struggling with problems of popularity, acceptance, first love and personal loss. It’s also a terrific read for parents. Especially if you’re a basketball fan. That said, you don’t need to know anything about the sport, or even like it, to lose yourself in this inspiring novel.

A great read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is as much about modern history (Watergate), journalism, loyalty and ethics as it is about football.
