but great for my mind.

I found this novel to be hilarious, swift-moving, and at times, painful. A great read, but not so much while sitting atop any sort of commode. I read seven chapters in one "sitting" and had to crawl out of the bathroom like some unfortunate amputee. So, I'd say this book will give you good feelings, and not-so-good creepy pins-and-needles feelings too. Read with caution.

I just finished the book Trolley Dodgers and am sad it is over. Before I pick it up to start again (tonight!) I wanted to pass along a positive review. This book is fabulous, especially if you have spent any time in Bloomington, Indiana. I felt like I was reliving my college days again with Stanger's descriptive scenes, and the characters he created were as familiar as old friends. As a baseball fan, a graduate of IU, and a Mary Kay chick, it feels like Stanger has captured too many parts of my life in his book. Scary? Yes... but I MUST read it again!

I can't imagine anyone not thinking this book is entertaining. They'd have to be anti-baseball, anti-makeup, anti-romance, anti-poking fun at people, anti-big life dreams and just plain anti-American! I am an avid reader and I almost never read a book more than once -- but this one I've read multiple times and it made me laugh out loud every time. The characters are quirky and endearing. Stanger's sense of humor is evident throughout; he says things we all think, but wouldn't say out loud. If you've ever lived in a small town, you'll feel right at home. This is the kind of book that will have you cheering for the underdog right up to the very end.

This book is a great story of the diversity of Bloomington, Indiana uniting for the great American pastime. The characters are so funny and it keeps you wanting more. I had to force myself to put it down some nights so I could sleep! Jeff Stanger is a great Hoosier writer!

I knew this book was funny before I even read it. It's especially meaningful for those familiar with Bloomington...a MUST READ for Hoosiers!!

I absolutely loved this book! It made me laugh, cry and laugh until I cried. Now I'm just wondering... when do we find out if Andy and Kate get married?!?!? =)
