Tales from the Arizona Diamondbacks Dugout

Rating:
Summary: disappointing
Review: I'm was a big fan of the 2001 D'backs, but I'm NOT a big fan of this book. It's a 181 page book. I put it down at p. 102 and haven't picked it up since. Boring! Surprisingly little focus on the amazing pitching combo of Johnson & Schilling.

The book jumps around a lot from subject to subject. It contained lots of background that I was not interested in. It's not a straight beginning-to-end telling of the storied 2001 season. Egads, discussion of the D'backs' 2001 regular season doesn't even begin until Chapter 12 (p.79)!

But the most disappointing thing were the pictures. BUYER BEWARE: The only PHOTOGRAPH this book has is the one that appears on the cover. ALL of the images inside the book are pen & ink-type drawings! LAME!
