Review:
Molly O'Grady's Home Run is a short story in the sports fiction genre - and I mean short! I was surprised to receive a twelve page pamphlet of a book, and even more surprised by the price-tag - $8.95??? The story would be great in a fictional sports anthology, but alone it is more of a foul ball. The tale of the O'Grady's was lighthearted and humorous, but unlike what the description promised, I doubted that it would be interesting for "all ages", especially to children. I also noted several grammatical mistakes and patches of strange/ unrealistic dialogue. Overall, I was not impressed with the story as a standalone volume.
Rating: Toe Tag (1/5)
*** I received this book from the author (Bostick Communications) in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
