Evaluation Out Of Books Shoeless Joe

W. P. Kinsella passed away this weekend. Fittingly, we have selected his novel Shoeless Joe, the basis of the movie Field of Dreams, as our fiction selection for the baseball book club for October 2016. Featuring the characters who star in the film as well as additional personae and locations, it was a joy for me to reread this novel filled with examples of magical realism on and off of the baseball diamond. Although Kinsella hails from western Canada, at the time of this novel's publication he

Wow! I saw the movie years ago and I just picked this book up to have something to read at the beach. I was blown away. Kinsella has a beautiful way with language. As the cover says, this is not just a book about baseball. It is a book about love and memories, about the truth of our lives, and, in the end, like so many other great works, it is about fathers and sons and the heart rending distance between them that is filled with longing and love and the inability to express it. It left me in

This story is so inspiring and yet so down to earth and simple, it just seems too good to have been written. But it was, and the prose to describe the journey Ray takes because a voice told him to build "it" (a baseball field) is great. Definitely a five star read. Instead of a full review, I am saving some comments for the discussion on this book that will start October 1 in the Baseball Book Club.

So, Ok I am no critic This is one book I have wanted to read for some time. So much so that I bought a first addition and hold it high on my shelf displayed prominently. With the 2016 season just about to start I thought it was a good a time as ever to pick up what many consider one of the best novels written around the game of baseball. Honestly at first I was a little disappointed. I am not sure what I expected. I guess we bring expectations with us that cannot reasonably be met. That

I don't have enough words to say how much I loved this book. I've waited a long time to read it. It has never been the right time until this weekend. I know that sounds cryptic, but there was a reason. If you have ever watched the movie, Field of Dreams and love baseball, this book is a must read. Go buy it. "When you need it, it will be there." I promise, you will not be disappointed. The text is as magic as the story line. Kinsella's text can transport you. He can paint a masterpiece with

Shortly before the season started, I (re)watched the movie Eight Men Out. When the movie was over, still anticipating the season I guess, I pulled out this novel and dipped into it when I felt like it.Its amazing what Id forgotten, all things not in its movie version (Field of Dreams), so not reinforced by it: Rays twin brother, Richard; Eddie Scissons (and he's a big part of the novel). Id also forgotten that other real people besides J.D. Salinger were used in this fictional story, though not

I don't remember when I first read this. Probably shortly after Field of Dreams came out. I loved that movie, and the book was damn good. Baseball, magic, love... someone or other called this a male romance novel, and they're not far off, really. Ray Kinsella is prompted by a Voice that comes from nowhere to build a baseball field in the middle of his farmland. Like most farmers, he's barely making it and can't really afford to lose the acreage. But he does it. Strange and wonderful things
