I discovered this gem while glancing through previous Modern Mrs. Darcy Summer Reading Guides. This one goes all the way back to... 2012. I would never had picked it up had it not been recommended by Anne in the SR Guide. It’s the first “serious” Grisham I’ve read and it proves he’s a good writer, whether thriller or any other type of writing.

In fact I would have given a 3.5
Ok, i bought this book because I needed a $5 purchase to get free shipping ... So when i saw that Grisham had a book I thought it would be good ... I had not realized it was a baseball story.
I was disappointed but read the book anyway ...and I have enjoyed it.
Even shed a tear toward the end ! But sooooooooo predictable !

My second Grisham audiobook, I believe. I liked it, but it was just so-so. Nice story overall and an interesting change-up from Grisham that's focused on baseball. Borrowed it from the library and read it on my iPhone (you know what I mean).

Joe was a great guy all around, most especially his ability to forgive. That message will stay with me.
I will use this as my book for the one day challenge in the semi-charmed kind of life summer 2012 reading challenge.

In the beginning it felt weird reading a baseball story from the legal thriller master. I actually put it down several times determined not to finish. But I decided to just give it a shot in the end. That was why it took me soo long, it was worth it eventually.
Outstanding! As a Cub fan for life, it was really a good, and touching read.
