" 3.5 stars. A strange, affecting little read. The narrative voice and story within a story conceit wear a little thin by the end (and the end wasn't quite satisfying), but by that point the characters had worked their way into my heart. Best read in larger chunks so you can get into the rhythm of the storytelling and the baseball season; unfortunately I often didn't have the chance. Still, I think Henry Wiggen and Bruce Pearson will live on as important fictional characters to me for some time. "
