You Must Read This Book!
The following should be noted: I do not like reading about baseball. I detest the genre of science fiction. And I'm not even sure that I passed physics. Oh, and I'm a girl. But for some reason this masculine yet higly accessable tale of fate, physics, and finding oneself caught me in its lyrical snare. You can feel the heat of the setting, the sweat, and the sex...

Not a K, but not quite a basehit either
This is a book I wanted to like from the start. I thought it sounded quirky, and I kind of like quirky- well, OK I am quirky, so I thought the book would be a good fit. Baseball book, oddball characters, unusual setting, everything I would typically enjoy. I have read a fair amount of baseball themed literature and was looking forward to this effort.

Not a K, but not quite a basehit either, Mars 9 2004
This is a book I wanted to like from the start. I thought it sounded quirky, and I kind of like quirky- well, OK I am quirky, so I thought the book would be a good fit. Baseball book, oddball characters, unusual setting, everything I would typically enjoy. I have read a fair amount of baseball themed literature and was looking forward to this effort. The problem is, the book did not quite reach me. The baseball didn't ring quite true, but mostly, the characters did not work for me. Others clearly like this book, and that's OK, I have read much worse than this, and Miller clearly had good intentions in writing the book, but it falls short. Of course maybe my expectations were too high but I think the fault lies more with the multiple story lines, which merge a little too neatly for my taste. Having said all that, I would still give Miller another shot. After all, writing is like hitting- nobody bats 1.000.

Not a good baseball book, Janv. 15 2004
Par Un client
I felt really let down by the words on the cover that it was "A Novel of Love, Baseball, and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Priciple". Unlike the other reviewer, I love baseball, I often read science fiction, and I've enjoyed the physics classes I've taken. I hated this novel. I found the book to be condescending to anyone who is interested in or involved with organized sports. It felt as though the author had no history is baseball and his choice of phrases reflected his lack of knowledge. I never felt an interest in the characters or their development or rather lack of development. The relationships between the characters were assumed. There was generally a paragraph to explain how these two people had become friends or lovers after they came together, rather than as part of the story. The further I read, the larger my distate grew. If you are looking for a baseball book, or a book about love this is NOT it.

But for some reason this masculine yet higly accessable tale of fate, physics, and finding oneself caught me in its lyrical snare. You can feel the heat of the setting, the sweat, and the sex emanating from the pages. I haven't felt this way about a protagonist since Howard Roark. Miller is a highly skilled craftsman who deserves to be lauded for this literary tour de force. I'm madly in love with this book, and I recommend it to any man or woman who wants a decent read that isn't the chicklit and dicklit cluttering our bookstore shelves.
