Book Reviews of 7: The Mickey Mantle Novel
Book Review: Pure Trash
Summary: 1 Stars
If you like novels loaded with vulgarity, sexist remarks, overused rants of profanity, with a bent on revisionist baseball history, then you will like "7: The Mickey Mantle Novel". Be warned though that this book is not for the masses nor the fans of the legendary Yankee. It reads more like a comic book than a novel and is filled with section after section of gratuitous references to the above topics. For this baseball fan (and fan of Mickey), I'd prefer to stick my memories of a great teammate and all-around player without reading this made-up garbage. Knowing more, (or at least the "more" as Mr. Golenbeck sees it) is not always best for this reader.
