 | Summer of '49 (Perennial Classics) |
 | "The Best" | 2009-06-02 |
I've read many baseball books and this is one of the two or three best ever. Never mind the story of '49 which is in itself interesting, this writer brings in antidotes of these player which are pure pleasure, revealing, inciteful and fascinating. By the way, David Halberstam is also one hellava writer. A sure fire hit for any baseball lover especially those who know the player of the early fifties.

 | "Lehigh Alum" | 2006-03-21 |
I bought this book since I went to Lehigh and thought it would be extra interesting because of my background and because I played soccer and ice hockey at college. What a let-down!
I found the game by game annayasis drawn out and boring. About the only thing I can recommend to you from the book is the "amaterism" ( if there is such a word) of college sports at Lehigh and the great majority of other colleges in the US that we do not read or hear about on a daily basis.
I see you can purchase a used copy on Amazon for $0.99 - so what the hell - for a buck it's worth it I guess.

| "For lovers of courtroom drama and intrigue" | 2000-01-01 |
Vividly described charcters, great courtroom drama sequences, clerverly woven plot which does not permit you to predict the outcome until the very end. A great book - and - even without sex.
