Summary: Patty Campbell is half baked
Review: Patty Campbell's Amazon review of "Plunking Reggie Jackson" refers to the book's "half baked psychology." If confronting your own deficiencies and finding the courage to confess and overcome them is half baked psychology, then we should all be taken out of the oven prematurely. "Plunking Reggie Jackson" is, like Bennett's other books, gritty, truthful, and multi-level.Like his other sports novels, the book is authentic in its portrayal of high school athletes, their pressures, their boosters, coaches, and the like. Most reviewers have perceived Coley Burke as a sympathetic character with the courage to be (and become). Maybe Patty Campbell needs to go back to the muffin tin; she might learn something.
