Definitly liked the second half better than the first half, but there was just something missing. I thought Scott Simon's voice was really strong, almost distractingly so. He was very heavy handed.

This was a fast read--I finished it in one long sitting. Despite the brevity, I felt I got a really vivid image of the time and situation, and especially of Jackie Robinson's extraordinary struggle.
