A re-read. Despite GR’s erroneous recent postings I haven’t looked at this book in years. I remembered only the most basic highlights. The rest is like new.
His writing is beautiful. Metaphors and similes snap with colors and contours. The movie is good but the book is 100x more - deeper and thicker and richer. Bats crack, baseballs sing, ball mitts thump, cut grass brings the sting of green to my nostrils.
