An easy read; and a good read for any fan of the '80's NY Mets.

[Logan Ingles · Rating 3 out of 5]

i think the book was pretty good but slow untill about chapter 5 or 6 then the book really picked up and was a lot better thats when he started playing so it was a lot more intresting to read too i gave the book a 3 out of 5 because it was slow at the start.
