The Road to the Majors. By Scott Blumenthal

Choosing this book. Everyone chooses a book on prior knowledge to the title. They also might pick it based on relation to that book. I chose this book due to cover and title of the novel. This book is mostly about baseball making it a sports themed book.

People Interested? People who are into sports themes would be all into this novel. It is heavily packed with the knowledge of baseball, and the systems of baseball. So if you follow or even play this marvelous sport, this book is for you! The obvious theme of this book is sports and baseball. The Road to the Majors is based around the lifestyles and players hardships of the sport.

The Authors Way. The author Scott Blumenthal has been known for his work with sports related books, such as this one. So it is no surprise that this book is sports related. If I had to ask the author a question about this book, I would. I would ask him what inspired him to write The Road to the Majors. Also why he incorporated the conflict he did, because it is an interesting and indifferent problem to happen is a book like this.

Changing the Novel? To me I would not want to change anything about this novel. The author really makes a good connection with his audience about the real life baseball life, to me. He has a great connection to his audience and kept me interested. Mr. Blumenthal also created a strong understanding of all the characters. I don’t think it can get any better than that as a reader.
