My Take on the Book:

I found this an enjoyable book even though I have zero interest in baseball. Fortunately, I know enough about baseball to have understood a lot of the terminology he used in the book.

Purchase on Amazon

My Take on the Book:

I liked this one better than the first book in the series. The book has a lot of unrealistic sexualization that is completely unneeded for the storyline. I looked up Patrick F. McManus while I was reading this and discovered that he’s passed away.

My Take on the Book:

I enjoyed reading Patrick F. McManus’s humor articles in an outdoors magazine in my metal shop class while I was in high school and I’ve read his humor books since. This book was off brand for his humor writing and I didn’t find it very engaging. I probably wouldn’t read the follow up books to this one if I didn’t already have my hands on them.

Summary:

Purchase on Amazon

My Take on the Book:

I was drawn to this book because I enjoyed the movie. The book is much like movie with enough differences that you don’t feel like you’re reading the screenplay for the movie. I was quite surprised at the scene when Tristan’s dad got together with Tristan’s mom. It was definitely inappropriate. For that reason I can’t recommend this book.
