Review of 'The Art of Fielding' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A good novel of five interrelated characters and baseball - the author shines with both the rules and the relationships. Much was made early on about the book within the book - "The Art of Fielding" - which then plays little part in the second half of the novel. Minor quibbles aside, this is a really good novel which I found myself barely able to put down.
