i finished this book this afternoon, and though i haven’t written any of my paltry book reviews on here in a long while, i feel compelled to share my thoughts. i liked it so much, i sort of feel like i’ll never like another book again. that sounds extreme, but haven’t you ever had that feeling when you’ve just eaten or viewed or read something great?
anyways, what a beautiful book.
you don’t have to be a baseball lover to enjoy this it, but the sport provides a most lovely background. the story takes place at a University, on the baseball diamond, and is different from many books i read because much of the plot focuses on the relationships between men rather than women. multiple times, i found myself comparing the characters and their dynamic relationships to those in Franzen’s Freedom (and the book is almost as long, ha).
sticking with the half-baked reviews i’ve written in the past, i’ll leave this here. i highly recommend this book, and think it would be great for a book club (ahem, DC Readers). maybe i should start a Seattle Readers book club…
