Book Review: A Fun Read
Summary: 4 Stars
This is by no means a wonderfully written book. It never probes too deeply, it is not overwhelmingly analytical, and it doesn't really stand out above other sports books. However, it is a very fun, fast read. Pearlman picked a good subject in the 1986 Mets and the stories that emerge from the season are pretty wild. I enjoyed, if for no other reason than the fact that I could plow through it without thinking.
