The first half is mostly fictional baseball recaps from the perspective of an interested kid. The baseball details felt over-sensationalized and unrealistic, the writing style simple and dry.
The second half describes the fallout of the Big Plot Event on the main characters. There is light drama but this is a fictional memoir, not a thriller. The narrator takes on the role of reporter who doesn't care to include much of his own thoughts or emotions in the story.
It's a relatively quick, easy read. Might work as juvenile fiction.
