Wait Till Next Year : A Memoir (AUDIO CASSETTE)

Rating:
Summary: A great account of the social history of a Brooklyn fan
Review: This is a poignant, amusing, very readable memoire that blursthe line between social history, baseball history, and story-telling. One entertaining account follows another as the author talks about growing up as a woman, as a baseball fan, and a Brooklynite. Great stuff.

Summary: audiobook review
Review: Stirring delivery by the author, a touching account of theauthor's relationship with her father before and after the loss of her mother. I bought this audiobook because I had become a fan of Doris Kearns-Goodwin based on her appearances on ABC and Imus in the Morning. I enjoyed it because with this book, Doris shows that she has other talents at her disposal beyond historical analysis. If you liked her before, you'll want to buy her dinner after experiencing this story.

Summary: A great read
Review: This book was really a great book. I understood what she wasgoing through an dhow she felt about baseball because I have felt the same emotions even though I am a Yankee fan. I couldn't help but think "Go Yankees" even though I felt compassion for her wanting her team to win.

Summary: a pleasure to read
Review: This book was enjoyable on so many levels. Having grown up inthe NY area the neighborhood described in this lovely book was very similar to my own right down to the butcher shop staffed by diehard Giant fans. I loved every minute that I spent reminiscing with Ms. Kearns Goodwin. Highly rcommended.

Summary: A book for everybody
Review: Doris Kearns Goodwin does a delightful job of writing of thosedays which seemed so much simpler; when neighborhoods were safer, when baseball was played on grass. This is not just a baseball book, but a documentary of Americana and a young girl's journey to adulthood. Within that autobiography is the story of the sometimes rocky, yet magical path of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Very smartly written.
