I think this book wants to return Jim Thorpe to a place of mainstream knowledge, and to be inclusive about the many great players of baseball. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that detract from that goal -- from the grandkid being a jerk (so there are no positive depictions of Native Americans as characters), to the stereotype-reinforcing Native American alcoholism and historical references to Thorpe as a savage, to the great athlete but not a great baseball player phenomenon -- unintentionally this book portrays an extraordinary athlete as a sad and lost figure -- a tragic portrayal, rather than a celebratory one, and I found it more than a little depressing. Realistic? Probably, but what is the goal of the book? If the desire is to restore Thorpe as an icon, I give it a swing and a miss. ( ) I absolutely loved the book "Jim and Me". I love books that involve stats and athletics. I liked this book about Joey Stoshack has a special talent where if he holds a card he can travel to the year that card was made. He loves baseball so likes to travel back in time and see famous baseball players. Its an absolute blast of fun from beginning to end. The author did a great job of illustrating how beautiful the game of baseball really is. I give it a 5 out of 5. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
