A review by dajna
Calico Joe by John Grisham

3.0

Although I know nothing about baseball, and although I try to avoid sport-related novels (I exercise because I have to, but I'm not fond of sports), I admit I liked it. If you don't concentrate too much over statistics and pitching performances it's just a story of a bully who's dying, and finally agrees to apologize. Actually, the plot is quite simple. The pleasure comes from the style of Grisham's writing.
It's a nice short story: not a masterpiece, but pleasant.
