Quick read. That is the only redeeming quality. It's incredibly sexist. Terrible book.
  Nic_Boshart | Oct 24, 2017 |
This intermittently-amusing chronicle of a Little League baseball season from its coach's perspective is the lightest of lightweight stuff. Bill Geist, from CBS, is not a bad writer, and there are a couple of good chapters here (his write-up of his team's 'big game' at the end of the season in question is genuinely funny), but Little League Confidential amounts to something less than the sum of its parts. There's too much padding and repetition, and the characters of the kids on the team themselves are not well-developed. There was plenty of room to do more-- this book clocks in at barely 200 pages, of which at least 25 are title pages or blank.

Recommended only to parents of young athletes; there are too many bad words to recommend this to the kids themselves. ( )
