One of the brilliant stories of it's generation. Bernard Malamud has a Pulitzer under his belt for another book, but I think this might be his best. Roy Hobbs is a compelling character. Yes, the Robert Redford film is great, but the plot is changed quite a bit, and the book is much better. I won't spoil the different ending for you, but it's not nearly so heartwarming.
