If I Never Get Back: A Novel par Darryl Brock

This is just embarrassing author wish fulfillment - gets sent back in time, becomes a player on the best baseball team in the country, gets the girl, etc.

If I Never Get Back par Darryl Brock

Group read in Time Travel

2/3 through. Sam is implausibly talented, lucky, brave, clever... ugh. Marty Stu.
All the research Brock did isn't making me like the story or the characters.
The plot is non-existent.. there's some sort of mystery, but it feels like it's building to something I'm going to find to be totally anti-climactic....
--------------------
Done. Glad I can check with the group - the ending was so abrupt I'm not even sure I understand it. Def. lame. If you have a keen interest in 1869 baseball, or a very keen interest in general history of 1869 and trust Brock (who taught history), you might want to read this. I'm just glad I'm finally done with it... it took me a relatively long time because I could never immerse myself in it; I never felt engaged.… (plus d'informations)

If I Never Get Back par Darryl Brock

I enjoyed this way more than I expected to. It is a great time-travel book as well as an intriquing and engaging way to write historical fiction as adventure.

If I Never Get Back par Darryl Brock

One of the best, most engrossing baseball novels I've ever read (twice, so far).
