This review is from: The History of the Houston Astros (Baseball: The Great American Game) (Hardcover)

It is a good and clear summary of the history of the Astros, however, the price is high for such a short summary.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, September 1, 2011

This review is from: The History of the Houston Astros (Baseball: The Great American Game) (Hardcover)

The information in this book is both sketchy and disjointed. It is only a 32-page book, way too little space for a team that has been in existence for over 45 years. The reading level (I've been a teacher for over 30 years) is about 6th or 7th grade. The pictures of Astros stars are terribly out of chronological order and they are not well-coordinated with the text on the pages on which they are placed. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed in this book.
