This review is from: Tales from the Diamondback Dugout: A Collection of the Greatest Arizona Diamondback Stories Ever Told (Paperback)

THIS IS A BOOK ABOUT THE WORLD SERIES WINNER OF 2001. IT HAS LITTLE DETAILED INTERVIEWS AND BRIEF NARRATION CONCERNING D-BACKS CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON. MOST OF THE PLAYERS AND COACHES ARE INTERVIEWED BUT THIS IS NOT A BOOK I WOULD SUGGEST FOR D-BACK FANS. I WAS NOT ALL THAT FAMILIAR WITH THIS TEAM AND BOUGHT IT OUT OF CURIOSITY. IT IS OK FOR THE CASUAL FAN. BUT HARDCORE D-BACK FANS, THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND WILL NOT SATISFY YOU.

This review is from: Tales from the Diamondback Dugout: A Collection of the Greatest Arizona Diamondback Stories Ever Told (Paperback)

As an avid Diamondbacks fan I was looking forward to reading this book. It was a quick read but I came away very disappointed and frustrated. Several facts represented in the book are flat out wrong bringing the whole book into question. The effort seemed haphazard at best leaving out many important events and dates within the history of the team. For such a Cinderella story I would have expected a better effort than what was given. I could not recommend this book to anyone who is truly looking for a recount of what occurred during the 2001 season.
