The Last Good Season: Brooklyn, the Dodgers and Their Final Pennant Race Together

26 reviews
Michael Shapiro

Broadway, 2004

" 'He Wanted Desperately To Stay' ? Apparently not! " Rated ***(**)
THE LAST GOOD SEASON, by Michael Shapiro, earns itself a provisional rating of FIVE STARS in my mind, based primarily on the quality of the writing (which is uniformly excellent) and the depth of the research (which, within limits, is exhaustive). Yet the book deserves, like Roger Maris' "61*", to be only a qualified ***(**) success. Much of that qualification comes from Shapiro's heavily ...

Richard John Neuhaus

Basic Books, 2000

"Saving Private Ryan" and the crucifixion
This is one of the most profoundly moving books I have ever read. I re-read it every year during lent, and it never fails to move me in the same was as before. Here is why. In the final scene of "Saving Private Ryan," Ryan himself, now much older, is visiting the grave of the soldier who saved him. He recalls the final words of the dying soldier who rescued him, a plea to make his life ...

The Last Aloha

Captured my Interest and Imagination
The first chapter and a half of Gaellen Quinn's "The Last Aloha" has captured my interest and imagination. It promises a great story which satisfies the double purpose of entertainment and enlightenment about a past that was veiled in misconceptions by the colonizers of Hawaii. The very first line of the story, where the heroine stands in front of the mirror, promises the reader an adventure ...

Simon & Schuster, 1992

this book is great!
I read this book for my research paper on old growth forests. Originally I was going to just try to fly through it and take out the information that I needed for my paper, but as I read it I got really into it and almost forgot about my paper altogether! I think the best thing about this book is that it represents all sides of the issue. William Dietrich talks to cutters, truck drivers, ...

Carin Greenberg Baker

Scholastic Paperbacks, 1994

EXCELLENT AND TRUTHFUL
This book amazed. I always seem to be drawn to awfully sad books. I don't know why. I guess I like to cry! Chris Franklin and Holly Paige's love for each other was truly beautiful. I may only be 14, but true love was evident. I hope people will read this book and realize what we, people who live normal, healthy lives, take for granted. My greatest sympathy to those people who have a life ...

Matthew Good

Insomniac Press, 2000

the literature of being
At Last There is Nothing Left to Say is Matthew Good's (of The Matthew Good Band fame) first, and perhaps last, foray into the world of the written word. At Last There is Nothing Left to Say is not a complete novel, nor a series of novella, but rather, a collection of short 1-10 page stories of fictious accounts of Matthew's life and narratives of events in the lives of a host of characters. The ...

Spiritual Relationships Can Last
This book was all I hoped it would be. It showed me that God's love is a very powerful thing and should be used accordingly; not just in romantic relationships, but in ALL Christian Love relationships. Everyone should read this book.

The Last Snake Runner

Kimberley Griffiths Little

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2002

Gripping and Magical
This book has everything!!!! Time travel, suspense, Native American folklore and history, woven together in a story that sweeps you away from the first page to the last. Little's depiction of the Snake Clan and the Acoma resistance was mesmerizing, the brutality of the Spanish Conquistadors was haunting, and the struggle for Kendall to reconnect with his heritage was gripping. I felt myself ...

They are, according to the King James Version, as follows: 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' (Luke 23:34) 'Verily I say unto thee, today thou shalt be with me in Paradise.'

Michael Delp

Wayne State University Press, 2003

Stupedorific
The old delpster never fails to come through. While all of his books are swell, he shows the ever increasing focus and honing culmanating in each new publication. He is a poetic force to be reckoned with, from Over The Graves Of Horses right through the present. Heck, even his unpublished works like the deadman poems beat most modern writers. His works are full of compelling images and sincere ...

Janice Pinnock

Blue/Black Press, 2003

A stunning debut novel
Janice Pinnock's first novel is a winner, combining intelligence, honesty and a great story. The characters are truly believable and you warm to them as if you've known them for years. The story of the book is pacy and very readable. I'd highly recommend The Last Good Kiss as a fantastic, enjoyable read.

Awesome Book
I read this book in a day and it surely was a page turner! The book was exciting from beginning to end. And at the end there is a twist in the plot so don't be fooled by the title, it's better than you think.

Timeless story now brought to life by Focus on the Family
We already have the full collection of Chronicles of Narnia books, but this radio theater version is a very welcome addition. As adults, my husband and I were as captivated as our children while listening to this series on CD. This is more than simply a book being read aloud, it is like really being there and hearing the story unfold. We especially enjoy this CD series for trips in the car, as ...

The Last Good Freudian

Brenda S. Webster

Holmes & Meier Pub, 2000

Freudian therapy gone poignantly amok
Brenda Webster, in this beautifully written, wrenchingly poignant, and highly fascinating memoir, tells of growing up in a world where her ordinary and not so ordinary life events were, at the behest of her brilliant and wacky mother, routinely scrutinized by Freudian psychoanalyists. Her memoir reads like the very best of novels. I found myself entranced by her story, mouth open in shock, ...
