MWMy apologies to Leon and the other forum members and lurkers for starting a new thread about this topic, but the previous thread appears to have been substantially sidetracked.
I finished the book yesterday and I'm sorry that I read it. I would hope that Michael O'Keeffe didn't mean all of the things he wrote about others, particularly some of his characterizations of collectors of vintage baseball cards. Instead of concentrating on vulgar language, allegations from anonymous sources, and salacious rumors, I think he could have written a more uplifting story. I'm no longer a fan of this type of literature and I don't see how very many positives can ever come from it.
IMO, it's not a very good book. The comments about religion and the author's statements about Cobb and Edwards are particularly disappointing. I'll likely toss it or return it to the bookseller for a full refund.
I had originally written more but I think I'll leave it at that.
