Title: Not a K, but not quite a basehit either
Review: This is a book I wanted to like from the start. I thought it sounded quirky, and I kind of like quirky- well, OK I am quirky, so I thought the book would be a good fit. Baseball book, oddball characters, unusual setting, everything I would typically enjoy. I have read a fair amount of baseball themed literature and was looking forward to this effort. The problem is, the book did not quite reach me. The baseball didn't ring quite true, but mostly, the characters did not work for me. Others clearly like this book, and that's OK, I have read much worse than this, and Miller clearly had good intentions in writing the book, but it falls short. Of course maybe my expectations were too high but I think the fault lies more with the multiple story lines, which merge a little too neatly for my taste. Having said all that, I would still give Miller another shot. After all, writing is like hitting- nobody bats 1.000.
