Wow!

what an awesome book! I was on the comp and my grandma had this book and she was showing it to my dad, saying she had only got it because me and my dad were like obsessed with baseball. He didnt want to read it and set it on the bed, which was where i picked it up. Dude! this was a good book! i'm only 13, and it was easy too read and a good story! Sorta like a history book...now i'm reading everything i can about the red socks undefeted season thing...why the heck is this book out of print?? it was awesome!

A great read, A great escape

I read this book years ago and lent it out to friends who also thought it was great but unfortunatly It was never returned. Until I got on-line, I coulden't find it anywhere. I forgot the authors name but never gave up in my search. "If I Never Get Back" took me to another time and place. If your a baseball purist or historian, you'll love this book. Mr. Brocks research of the Cincinnati red stockings was excellent and the whole plot of travelling back in time was captivating. Like I said, it's been years since I've read this book and I look forward to reading it again. I never read books twice but this one is the exception.

Excellent, accurate read

This was truly an adventure worth taking. To journey with Sam Fowler and the Red Stockings is to re-live a glorious baseball season and to learn a bit about 1869 America. It is thrilling, scary and most of all, fun to be along for the ride. The more I read about baseball history and the people who shaped it, the more I find that the content on the Red Stockings and their season is very accurate. If you can get your hands on this one, do it.

Amazing.

I have read this book three or four times now, and still can't get enough. Darryl Brock absolutely brings these characters to life. I can just picture Andy Leonard and Johnny and Cait, and even Bull Craver and LeCaron (ugh!). It's as if you're along for the ride. And what a ride it is. Fabulous book. A prized book. Ought to be made into a movie (Just please do it the right way, Hollywood!). Since the movie does not seem to be forthcoming, like many of these readers, I hope Brock writes a sequel to "If I Never Get Back." I'll be the first one in line at the bookstore.

GOOOOOD book!

This is one of the best books I've read, along with others...but I really enjoyed this book. The characters come alive, and you learn about life a little bit during the Industrial Revolution, and just about things back in 1869. I read this book in two and a half days, I literally couldn't put it down. When I finished it, I was dissapointed that it was over already, and went on to read it again. I've read it nearly ten times now. The only part I didn't like was the ending, I want a sequel! And it is kind of depressing in the end, how he reads about them all being dead...it kind of creeps me out. But still what a wonderful book! Make a sequel! Everyone should read this! Okay I'm calming down now!
