dashwoodj 's review for:
The Art of Fielding
by Chad Harbach
This book intrigued me at first. The subjects of baseball and small colleges are not ones that would normally pique my interest, but for some reason they did in this case. As the book went on the initial stories didn't seem to play out as interestingly as I thought they would. I found it difficult to care about any of the major characters as the story unfolded. However, I did find a renewed enjoyment at the very end of the book. In general, the beginning and end are quite good, but the middle is somewhat blah and unoriginal. The author shows a lot of promise. Much of the writing, the wordsmithing, is wonderful.
