Book Reviews of Hank Greenberg: The Story of My Life
Book Review: Biographies can be great!
Summary: 4 Stars
The joy of a biography is in the subject and the quality of the writing. Both areas excel in Hank Greenberg's life story. The book is of interest to anyone who loves vintage America during its entertainment hey-day, Depression years, and success stories of folks from modest background who have risen to "Hall of Fame" heights. Hank Greenberg's story is obviously from him but written by a professional who knows how to keep the tone of the book right where it needs to be. Although particularly appealing to baseball fans (and I am not one), there are so many carryovers to other areas, that anyone who reads the book will have trouble putting it down. It is short, well illustrated, and certainly a biography-buff's delight.
