Title: Unrealistic
Review: This is (as Vonnegut would say) is a "Kilgore Trout" book: one that is better as an idea than as something to read. As an idea, it's great. As a play, the dialogue isn't very realistic. The baseball players talk like they're in a Woody Allen movie. Very arty, references to cultural things, a little neurotic. Pro Ballplayers do not generally talk like Woody Allen. The dialogue just took me out of the story. I couldn't believe that real people would talk like that. As a gay man, I bought it because the idea is catnip to gays, but the writing didn't really get me into the action, but took me out of it. I recommend reading a sample before buying it to make sure that this problem doesn't bother you.
