The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach
3.0

I listened to this book and don't know if I would have liked it better if I read it, as some parts dragged on and I could have skimmed those parts. Overall it was a decent book, I was entertained and that is really all I ask. One criticism I have is that the main character, Henry, appeared a bit dense to me. Schwartz would talk about how he was the "father" to the baseball team and how he would guide the others, however any scene that Henry was in he appeared less than intelligent and I didn't know if he could string a sentence together. The book did take an odd/unexpected? turn at the end and then just stopped without a resolution, which was a bit of a disappointment.
