Summary: Lasser "goes deep" in his first at-bat
Comment: There are probably as many reasons for the number of baseball novels as there are baseball novels. Because of this, there is a danger that a new novel in the field will fall prey to convention and fail to bring anything new to the reader. despite these risks, Scott Lasser has produced a wonderful addition to the genre. Battle Creek is a story about love, about family, about loss and redemption, about honor and duty and about relationships between men and men, and men and women, told within the context of one season of an amateur baseball team. That would appear to be a lot of ground to cover in 288 pages, but Lasser does it, and with style.
To borrow a baseball metaphor, Lasser appears to have "all the tools." His characters live, the dialog rings true to the ear, and the plot is more than sufficient to keep the reader engrossed. In addition, he demonstrates the signs of developing a distinctive voice. There is a grace and fluidity to his style that makes me certain to look for his next book.

Summary: a must read for all real baseball fans
Comment: as i follow my detroit tigers through a season of hardships, i am very ecstatic to come across a great baseball story. this story takes you back to the days when baseball was truly the american past time without the distractions of nike and egos. the days when a ball player was truly a ball player and he did it for the love of the sport. i would recomend this book to anyone who has a love for baseball or is searching for the true meaning of baseball. this story will put a smile on the face of a true fan!

Summary: Spellbinding!
Comment: Mr. Lasser writes a compelling tale about people. The premise is baseball, which admittedly is a subject that doesn't interest me, but in spite of that, I really enjoyed the book. A true work of literature, and not just another mindless page-turner, this high-quality work is haunting and yet strangely uplifting.
