Negative Positive
Title: Great book, but buy a hardcopy.
Review: I gave the book a 2-star review because there are no other reviews that low, so this one might be read. Actually, the book itself is masterfully written. I was 4 months old when Lou Gehrig died. I love biographies and baseball books and this is one of the best of both.My problem with the Kindle edition is that it costs more than the printed editions and contains no photographs at all. I wouldn't mind that if I were told that some of the money would go into ALS research (none does).Moreover, the one graphic, a single sheet of Gehrig's baseball lifetime stats is in a type font so tiny that it can't even be read when enlarged.Still, I read the whole book so it would be dishonest to return it for a refund. And I feel no shame in writing that Chapter 23 made me cry.But if you really love baseball, get a printed copy. (I can't do that. We are retired and living in Dominica. The wretched Kindle is our only book option other than the equally inadequate Nook.)
Is the review positive or negative?
