The Natural by Bernard Malamud

1.0

The Natural is a classic, and was even made into a movie years ago, so I expected the book to be decent. It wasn't at all. Within five minutes of the main character meeting a female, he would just start feeling her up, whether she'd given consent or not. And when they would tell him "no", he would get pissed off and continue to advance on them. That's repulsive. He did this to several women throughout the book, and at times, it was a little graphic. The actual baseball plot-line wasn't all that interesting either. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
