As a Christian

Revisado: 01-13-22

Hard to find good, clean stories with interesting plots as a Christian.
I liked the story and laughed out loud at times.
I have already recommended this book to others.

These are not perfect Christians who do perfect Christian things.
The characters have actual struggles and actually demonstrate faith and repentance.
Yet it is not preachy at all. I dislike fiction that gets preachy.

Loved this Audiobook

Revisado: 08-06-18

I cannot imagine loving this as much in paper or on the screen. My imagination could not turn the words into songs -- the reader did a very good job at this. The opening of the book grabbed me; I listened straight through in only a couple days.

I always like to be warned about sexual scenes (why don't books have ratings like movies???). I would say the sexual scene and undertones throughout the book would give this book an R rating, not X. Skipping the scene would not detract from the book as a whole. I would not recommend this book for a young person or for any man who would be tempted to sin as a result of reading this book.

I like knowing very, very little about a book before reading it. If this is you, stop reading this review and just start your listen. I recommend the book.

I really enjoyed both main characters and their stories. I loved the math discussion and allusions. For example, the discussion of the Grand Hotel was a really interesting paradox that I had not heard before.

Amy impresses me. She knows enough math, enough hymns, enough about the music industry, and enough about the Bible to write this book. Impressive! I would not call this a Christian book. As a Christian, you would likely have a problem with Bonnie's thinking about relationships and sex; about Infinity's lack of belief; and thus, about their relationship in the context of this divide. In real life situations, this relationship would not likely last forever, though the book portrays it as such.

The Narrator is Better at Faster Speed

Revisado: 06-15-18

Enjoyed parts of the book. I learned how much I dislike the people around horse racing. There were also far too many boring tangents; I wished there was a ‘skip the sidebar button’ option in audible for this book. If I had paid for this book, I would have returned it.

I always listen to books at 1.25x or 1.5x, so I slowed this book down to understand complaints about the narrator. The narrator is much, much better at an increased speed. That is why audible gives us this option is to tune the narration to the speed of our own minds.

The Draft Picks Did Not Pan Out in the End

Revisado: 05-13-17

I read this book and enjoyed it. Then, I became curious what all these "contrarian draft picks" did in their careers. Not so much.

The A's were also at least partially good because of steroid usage.

All this being said, this book has some interesting ideas about the modernization of metrics and data in baseball. I like the Astroball book better.

Best Book Yet

Revisado: 02-13-17

Any additional comments?

I have listened to many books. I have thoroughly enjoyed quite a few. This is the best so far. I could not stop smiling through the last few chapters. The characters are so interesting, the narrator so good, and such an excellent, real story. So good!

Terrible Ability to Keep the Story Moving Along

Revisado: 04-09-16

Chapter after chapter of introductory material that is not the story itself. All of it doesn't make the story better when it comes. This book needs an abridged version -- as in the first fifteen chapters need to be reduced to two chapters.

Good, Not Great Storytelling

Revisado: 02-16-16

The book storytelling does seem a bit scattered--hard to follow at times. Overall, I enjoyed the book and understand the true story better. As usual, a true story book is better than a "based on a true story" movie.

Terrible Narrator!

Revisado: 06-30-15

I have listened to a lot of audiobooks. This was not read with the vocal variety and inflection of the master's. I got to the end only because I skipped chapters. Great, sad story. Enjoyed the conclusion. Just needed a professional narrator.
