W. P. Kinsella plays with both myth and fantasy in his lyrical novel, which was adapted into the enormously popular movie, Field of Dreams. It begins with the magic of a godlike voice in a cornfield, and ends with the magic of a son playing catch with the ghost of his father. In Kinsella's hands, it's all about as simple, and complex, as the object of baseball itself: coming home. Like Ring Lardner and Bernard Malamud before him, Kinsella spins baseball as backdrop and metaphor, and, like his predecessors, uses the game to tell us a little something more about who we are and what we need.

Synopsis
Ray Kinsella's fanatic love of baseball drives him to build a baseball stadium in his corn field and kidnap the author, J.D. Salinger, and bring him to a baseball game.

I had the idea of reading this book with my class and watching the movie. The book is awesome. I loved it. If you have seen the movie, Ray in the book is a little more psycho. Kevin Costner makes him seem like a regular Joe. In the book, he is more edgy. With a high school class, this book would be appropriate. Of the 265 pages, 99% of the ideas expressed are wholesome, life-altering, and clever. It's the one percent that will not allow me as a professional educator to read this book with my sixth grade class next year. I would recommend this book if a student asked me about it, but I would not assign it. There are a few questionable passages that are unnecessary to the plot, yet help us understand the edgy Ray. The movie is pretty true to the book. The book is satisfying to read, whether you enjoy baseball or not.

There is a famous quote floating around out there that conveys the essence of baseball and this novel: "Many attend, but few understand." Put simply, this book is a work for true lovers of the game. If you heart doesn't skip a beat on opening day, or you don't appreciate the smell of old leather and fresh cut grass, then this book is not for you. If you look down upon people who are oversentimental and nostalgic, then this book is not for you. But if you do understand the game and how it is a symbol of America and of youth and memory and peace and beauty, then buy a copy of this book. There are passages in "Shoeless Joe" that continue to amaze me. Prose in the form of poetry. The best baseball novel ever written. No contest.

Shoeless Joe Jackson comes to Iowa in the movie Field of Dreams. This audio book is the basis for that blockbuster movie, and what the movie leaves out you'll find in this recording.
The audio book is far more detailed and in some cases different than the movie, and it would be better if you have not seen the movie at all. I thought this recording was far better than the movie.
Over the course of the six tapes I was treated to a story that starts off grabbing you and never lets go until the last minute. I enjoyed the way the reader brought to life the characters of Joe Jackson, Ray Kinsella and others.
What I enjoyed most was the way the author ended the book, leaving you with a sense that maybe a sequel would be in line. It was my listening privilege and I have recommended this to so many baseball fans already.

Einfach fesselnd geschrieben
Es ist ein tolles, fesselndes Buch. Zugegeben, man hat immer auch den Film im Hinterkopf, doch das mach gar nichts, den die filmische Umsetzung ist sehr nah am Buch. Lesen Sie weiter...

Pretty BAD
I read this book for my school assignment, and all I have to say is that it's the worst book I have ever read, so don't read, if not forced, everything is repeated over and over

Baseball as Embodied Myth
First of all, IGNORE preliterate "reviews" of this book by highschoolers who were forced to read it - I doubt they'd know a "simale" if it hit 'em on the head. Lesen Sie weiter...
