 EASY READ October 7, 2007

THIS IS A BOOK ABOUT THE WORLD SERIES WINNER OF 2001. IT HAS LITTLE DETAILED INTERVIEWS AND BRIEF NARRATION CONCERNING D-BACKS CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON. MOST OF THE PLAYERS AND COACHES ARE INTERVIEWED BUT THIS IS NOT A BOOK I WOULD SUGGEST FOR D-BACK FANS. I WAS NOT ALL THAT FAMILIAR WITH THIS TEAM AND BOUGHT IT OUT OF CURIOSITY. IT IS OK FOR THE CASUAL FAN. BUT HARDCORE D-BACK FANS, THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND WILL NOT SATISFY YOU.

As an avid Diamondbacks fan I was looking forward to reading this book. It was a quick read but I came away very disappointed and frustrated. Several facts represented in the book are flat out wrong bringing the whole book into question. The effort seemed haphazard at best leaving out many important events and dates within the history of the team. For such a Cinderella story I would have expected a better effort than what was given. I could not recommend this book to anyone who is truly looking for a recount of what occurred during the 2001 season.

I'm was a big fan of the 2001 D'backs, but I'm NOT a big fan of this book. It's a 181 page book. I put it down at p. 102 and haven't picked it up since. Boring! Surprisingly little focus on the amazing pitching combo of Johnson & Schilling. The book jumps around a lot from subject to subject. It contained lots of background that I was not interested in. It's not a straight beginning-to-end telling of the storied 2001 season. Egads, discussion of the D'backs' 2001 regular season doesn't even begin until Chapter 12 (p.79)! But the most disappointing thing were the pictures. BUYER BEWARE: The only PHOTOGRAPH this book has is the one that appears on the cover. ALL of the images inside the book are pen & ink-type drawings! LAME!
