Helpful Score: 1

This was one of the most enjoyable and informative (educational) novels I ever read. The characters and story are fictional but the author brings them to life so much I had to keep reminding myself that it was fiction. I love Civil War history which attracted me to the book in the first place. Baseball I like but I'm not a huge fan. But the history of baseball is fascinating when you consider how much has changed over the years. You would hardly believe that it was the same game back then. However the enthusiasm and pure fun of competition that the characters revel in have not really changed. I love this book and recommend it to anyone who likes historical novels and has at least a slight interest in baseball. This book would make a good movie. And if you like this book then you should read First into Nagasaki. Only one chapter has to do with baseball but in my opinion it was the greatest game ever played.
