Title: Good Book?. . . ummmmm, not so much.
Review: If you're looking for a bad book about a good team, this is the book for youI'm a die hard Mets fan. I was 16 in 1986; the best age you can be when your team has a season like that. It was truly a season of baseball like it oughta be.Jeff Pearlman spins a fairly entertaining account of the events and characters that made up that magical Mets season, but unfortunately I found myself fighting through it 10 or 15 pages at a time. As I battled through, it occurred to me that perhaps Mr. Pearlman was just missing 3 crucial members from his project team.1) Proofreader2) Editor3) Fact CheckerThis could have been a good book if it had ben edited properly. Sadly it was not, and the result is a barely readable book with real live factual errors.If you are a Mets fan and can't get enough of memories of '86, pick it up for an entertaining read. If you are not a Mets fan, don't bother.
Is the review positive or negative?
