Beanball
Beanball | Gene Fehler
11 posts | 8 read | 1 reading
It's the last inning of a high school baseball game between arch-rivals Oak Grove and Compton. Center fielder Luke "Wizard" Wallace steps up to the plate--and is hit by a beanball, a wild pitch that shatters his skull, destroys the vision in his left eye, and changes his life forever. In this riveting novel, the events surrounding this pivotal moment are recounted through free-verse monologues by 28 different voices, including those of Luke and his Oak Grove teammates; the pitcher, Kyle Dawkins, and other Compton players; the two coaches; Luke's family members and teachers; and Sarah Edgerton, a new classmate who seems more affected by Luke's injury than his girlfriend is. With its unusual format, gripping subject matter, and economy of language, Beanball is a thought-provoking, fast-paced read.

This was a great book though it was confusing at times because it changed characters so frequently. It‘s a short read as well.

I liked this sentence. The message I got from it is that hard work separates the skilled, from the pros. Because talent helps, but you can really pick out the hard workers, from the talented.

This was a very good book! From multiple perspectives, that were easy to follow, and understand. An all around great story about high-schooler Luke “Wizard” Wallace. After being hit in the head by a fast baseball pitch, and instantly dropping to the ground, he may not recover so well. I would say this is realistic fiction. If you like books about sports, and overcoming struggles, then this is a book for you!

It was a really short read only 119 pages. It‘s written in multiple perspective. I really liked this book I sometimes felt bad for the people in the book like they were actually real.
