Title: The Boys of Boredom
Review: I wanted to love Rogers Kahn's "The Boys of Summer". I wanted to get lost in the nostalgia of baseball, like rolling with the rhythm of a major league ball game on a hot summer's day. I wanted to revel in the writing, the insight, the exploration of the human condition through the tried and true sports metaphor vehicle of America's favourite pastime.Despite moments of insight and interest, I found Kahn's book to be plodding, self indulgent and mostly, lacking in soul. I have read many great books which use sports as the vehicle to ponder the universal truths, but, unfortunately, this was not one of them.To sum up in two words: boring and disappointing
