Summary: A well written novel, people of all ages can identify with.
Comment: This book is about a boy named Billy Baggs who lives in a rural part of the town. To put it mildly, he lives on a farm, and rides 2 hours each day to school. Billy's latest problem is the pitcher on the Town Team. Actually, it's the fact that King likes the same girl Billy likes. After King and Billy get in a fight, the Coach of the baseball team comes up with a way to solve the boys' problem. Or so he thought. I think that Will Weaver did an excellent job on this book. The characters are all very real, and have real problems that could exist in real life. The solution to the boys' problem was creative, but I do think that the strike between the parents was a little ridiculous. The setting could be anywhere and apply to anyone, and I applaud Mr. Weaver on that.

Summary: One of the Best
Comment: I have to say, this book is the best about Baseball that I have yet read, and believe me, I've read alot of them. Hardball is the third book in a series of novels featuring farm boy Billy Baggs who has to deal with, puberty, his father's jailing and parole and school. The book shows increased relationships between Billy and Suzy than the previous two. However, this book kind of leaves readers hanging. What will happen to Billy and Suzy? Will Billy and King ever become friends? I don't know. I hope Will Weaver will write another book to finish things off.

Summary: A Good Book for a Yankee Fan
Comment: Adam's Review
Everybody has a book that they like. The book I read was Hardball. I think this book was very enjoyable to read.
The start of this book begins when Billy Baggs, Mark Kenwood, and Suzy Langen go to watch a ballgame. This ballgame takes place at the home of the Minnesota Twins. At this game Billy gets hit with a ball and is given a glove from Jim Kaat a Professional baseball player.
After the three of them get home Billy and King fight over Suzy who both love. Now these two have to stay together for a week. What will happen?
Three literary elements that Will Weaver uses is the use of the climax, which is the first one. I think the use of the climax is very good because I enjoyed reading it. The climax is when Billy and Suzy make love. The second literary element is the characterization chosen by the author. I like the characters because I think they represent me. The third literary element is the plot in which the events happen. The part of the plot I like is when the kids go to the stadium. I think the way the author used the events is very good.
My opinion of this book is that this author writes very good books from reading this. I think the characters he picked were very good such as Billy Baggs. I think how King and Billy fight over a girl relates to some kids today. I hope other people read this book also.
