Debra's Reviews > Calico Joe

I will be the first to admit that I don't follow baseball nor do I know anything about it or how it is played. But this is a novel written by John Grisham, so I am going to read it anyway because I know I will enjoy it for the writing alone, even if I don't really understand the rules of the game.

In this story we follow Joe Castle (Calico Joe) who back in 1973 is the superstar of baseball but also we follow the story of Warren in the present day who is the son of a baseball player who played at the same time as Calico Joe. We mainly follow Warren as he tries to fix a situation that happened so many years ago.

I really enjoyed this story. Yes, I didn't understand the baseball side of it and yes there is a lot of that in this book (as it is meant to) but the characters and the story made this truly enjoyable to me. A son who is trying to help his dad fix a problem that happened so many years ago.

A truly enjoyable story and you really don't have to be a fan of baseball to read this.
