Forget the nerdy reputation that debate has. Instead think of a scenario as exciting as a sports game with high stakes like triumphing over racism. bad politics and abject poverty... An important, thoughtful and provocative look at race and class in America.
- The Boston Globe
Joe Miller's enthusiasm is infectious and the plot creates the suspense of a good courtroom thriller.
- Entertainment Weekly
The minute I finished Joe Miller's Cross-X, I held the book out in front of me -- amazed, rapturous, and hopeful... Miller's mesmerizing, vivid accounts of the debates will leave you crouched in your seat, holding your breath... An incredibly powerful, daringly hopeful book.
- Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Irresistible... Miller begins breezily but is soon deeply invested in the Central squad's mission to not only master the debate game on its own terms but revolutionize it with flashes of poetry and hip-hop wordplay... If all these kids could run things, Miller implies, imagine what could get done.

hmmm, now i know how to thwart your wonderdog!
And I'm scared of GOBO. Seriously though, I'm calling PETA. That whole coffee mind torture that your woman was laying on GOBO was messed up.
GOBO!! Don't worry! I'm coming to save you from the widely-feared coffee!
I love Gobo. Seriously.
What do you mean he is afraid of the camera and coffee? I thought he was afraid of everything except you, Allie, and about 3 other people and the fact that he shows his fear by attacking people seems a little weird and contradictory even by animal behaviour standards.
Joe thats just horrible he's a carnivoir not a vegan LOL JK
