Title: A treatise of faith.
Review: This book was an incredibly compelling and wonderfully moving statement of faith: "It is God's nature to come on in the bottom of the ninth." This book was almost torturous at times, seeing desperate levels of hardship blurring the lines between human and animal. Yet it never gave up hope, rooting the human (American) spirit in the game of baseball. This book called to mind another book, early evidence of King's insight into the human condition. Those who are disappointed by the book are probably the same who thought that "Cujo" was a story about a dog. I kept thinking of the "monster words," and the realization that there are monsters in life. This time however, the monster shows itself and faith throws the curve ball in the bottom of the ninth. A fabulous story!
