A review by missyjohnson
The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach

3.0

All in all I liked the book. The middle part with Henry was a little too long and there was a bit of predictability with just about every character. I was not surprised at any decision or event that occured. I guess that is not a bad thing because as humans I believe that we are predictible creatures. It is just that in a book, I enjoy the potential for escape and surprise and that did not occur here. I love baseball and did enjoy the baseball stories. I guess that the only "surprise" was the end and the way that Henry was the hero. Pella, Mike and Guert were safe and followed the path expected. Owen was the one most likely to step outside the lines but alas did not.
