The heat of July has my mind around baseball at the moment and finding this gem of a book, by Stephen King, peaked my interest enough to check it out and read it. King takes the story of a young rookie catcher out of Iowa and casts him as the center piece of the story, but the reader quickly discovers that there is something 'not quite right' with Billy and the 1957 New Jersey Titans.
Scandal and cover ups persist around the young catcher and the ending is where Stephen King drops unveils the true mystery of who and what William "Blockade Billy" Blakely truly is.....
Typical Stephen King and I wouldn't expect anything different. But, it was a quick read and was enjoyable with a mix of summer baseball!
