Title: Not well written
Product review: I was very excited to read this book, being a longtime Red Sox fan.But I finished the book being disappointed. Bryant's writing isn't very good, in my opinion. There are many times when he repeats the same thing he had just written, sometimes on the very next page. It reads like he wrote the chapters in non-sequential fashion, and forgot he had written the same thing earlier.One thing that irritated me especially was the continued repetition of a person's first and last name. He'll say, "Jim Rice" in one paragraph, and "Jim Rice" two or three paragraphs later. "Rice" would have been sufficient!There are a couple of decent chapters, especially the one about Jackie Robinson. But overall I found this book not very insightful.He makes too many assertions without any empirical research behind it. A more thorough history of the city of Boston and its racial divides would have made the reader understand more why it has treated its black athletes differently.
