Baseball Great Audiobook

" 3 1/2 stars. I've read all of Tim Green's football books, and I like them very much, so I thought I'd give one of the baseball books a try. I listened to this one. It was read by the author and the audio was pretty good. Full disclosure here--NOT a baseball fan. SO not a baseball fan. But I usually like baseball books. And I really liked this one for the most part. Didn't like Josh's father, but that's okay--I can live with the jerk dad. I really hit a wall with the steroids, though. I just couldn't wrap my head around why anyone would care so much why a travel team did well. I wouldn't even care if a professional team did well, but maybe I mentioned how much I don't like baseball... "

" I enjoyed how Tim Green wrote this book, well done. "

" ok this really wasn't the worst book i have ever read, but it was bad. The charcters were cheezey, and the setting was just weird. i mean it was just all soo predictable, the olny reason i read it was because my mom gave it to me on easter for school. if i really had the choice i would have sropped after the first couple chapters. so yeah really cheezy book i gave it a D+ "

" Great boy book!! Very interesting story! "

" This book was OK. I did not appreciate that it is an ICCA book. Those books are for 3rd through 6th grade. I still think they need to change that because this book would be OK for a 6th grader to read, but not a 3rd grader! Josh (the main character) gets on a U14 travel team even though he's only 12. Towards the end of the book his teammates offer him gym candy (steroids). He is a smart kid and never takes them, but the way he handles the situation is stupid. He refuses to contact the police and puts himself and a girl friend into seriously dangerous situations. It is not a good example of what kids should do when they find themselves in the same situation. I don't appreciate this scenario being put out there for kids to read. The first thing he should have done was contact the police. End of story. Period. Don't waste your time with this book. "

" I think that this book wasn't the best I would give it a 7 from 1 to 10. I would prefer this book for pople who really like sport books. "

" this book is very exciting! if you like baseball i would read this book! "

" This was one of the best baseball books i have ever read. It is so real and i think any guy would like it. "

" A great book with lots of suspense like a sports and mystery combined "

" Read my review at Let's Talk Books "

" I liked this because it wasn't JUST about baseball, so you could understand what was going on. I think the climax was kind of anti-climatic funnily enough. It could have been a little more excited, but I understand that this is made for kids. "

" Solid read but not exceptional and a little predictable... enjoyable 3 and a half stars... "

" Read my review at Gator Book Chomp. "

" This book should make a movie "

" Good Tim Green book somewhat similar to Football Hero, but nothing particularly special about this one. "

" I would recommend this book to ages 12 and up. great book!!! "

" I learned lots about what some great baseball teams get to do and the power of doing what's right or wrong. "

" I really liked this book by Tim Green. Great book about baseball and steroids. "

" Josh faces a dilemma when he joins a team involved in steroids. He must face bully teammates and corrupt adults and do the right thing. "

" This was one of the best baseball books i have ever read. It is so real and i think any guy would like it. "

" Baseball great is a GREAT book it starts slow and finish strong but i wouldn't recommend it unless you like baseball "

" this book is very exciting! if you like baseball i would read this book! "

" Loved the parts about actually playing baseball and all that goes with it. Did not love the main plot that serves as a warning about steroids. Also, the dialog was not very realistic among the 12 year-old protagonists. "

" I would recommend this book to ages 12 and up. great book!!! "
