I was looking forward to reading this book, but was somewhat disappointed. The writing seems, I almost want to say sloppy and the supposed protagonist, Roy Hobbs, is not at all likable. Though, the reason for this is probably that Malamud based Roy Hobbs on the actual ballplayer, Ty Cobb, who was known to be very arrogant and abrasive.
