A review by erikstl
The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach

5.0

I didn't think I would enjoy a book that had baseball at its core, but I was sucked into The Art of Fielding and managed to read it it in the course of about 4 days. Harbach does a superb job of throwing you into the characters' lives, minds, and emotions. As the book came to a close, I felt myself laughing and nearly crying at the touching final scenes on the lake -- the ridiculousness, yet emotional realness of the scene.
