The Natural by Bernard Malamud

5.0

Amazing. I never really gave older writing styles a try. The characters are absolutely amazing. They aren't fun, they are crazily pessimistic, and it's like watching a trainwreck. I couldn't keep watching. I absolutely love Roy Hobbs as a character because he's so...odd. He is a grumpy, middle-aged man, who feels entitled yet he's never satisfied. I think his downfall is that he can't accept anything he has. Baseball fans or not will enjoy this book. I truly loved this one.
