Sadly, could not understand the content of this book. Perhaps not for people who don't understand baseball.

Boring. DNF.

I'm mystified by the 4 and 5 star reviews. I've been a baseball fan my entire life and was excited to pick this book as my First Reads choice for December. I got 30% through it and finally threw in the towel. Totally boring. Nothing was happening. Ryder is haunted by his past. Ryder is wowing the players and fans with his skills. The league is looking into ways of slowing him down. There were rich descriptions of baseball games, stadiums, etc. This all sounds like it could make for an interesting book. But it wasn't an interesting book. I tried to get into it, I really did. It was mainly boring descriptions of fictional baseball games and long winded conversations between people. And the conversations? The dialogue read like a movie script, not actual real-life conversations. The characters were not interesting to me, and that includes the protagonist Frank Ryder. This book just wasn't what I had hoped for or expected.

Extreme Politicall-Hugging Disappointment

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 10, 2022

TOO many "White" corrections made. Little reasons made for "Black". I am a former West Point athlete and troop leader, and a NOW teacher leader...as an athlete, I GOT this story, for the first 40%...once the author tossed in race and colors, it wasn't a valid read. It became a read for merely the peeps who would benefit from the superficial story of rags to riches...Exactly the peeps who fight against those trying to help.

Terrible

Couldn't get into this book . Too much narration that made no sense. The story jumped all around with undefined characters. There are not many books I don't finish, but I couldn't slog my way through this one.

Profanity

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2022

Didn't read the book. Searched and found it full of profanity. I will NOT read a book or author who uses my Lord's name on profanity
There are PLENTY of authors that write without profanity. It is completely unnecessary....

Read 25% and that was all I could tolerate. Sorry, bot this book has more about team mates drinking beer and eating while analyzing a fictional situation than playing the fictional game!

Anti climax personified

Spends the whole book building to a peak and then leaves it to your imagination. Decent story full of regurgitated baseball trivia and characters. Not worth the time to read it.
