Reviews

This is a comprehensive look at Mike Piazza's career in baseball. It definitely showed the complexity of the sport and being a player within the sport.
Mike Piazza's bio is for the most part an enjoyable read . He spends a surprising amount of time discussing his childhood and his difficult journey to the major leagues.
Big Mets fan, and I was very excited to read this book. While it did have some interesting points, the majority of it felt like Piazza whining and complaining.
It was a nice review of Mike Piazza's career, but I felt it was a bit long.
Okay Mike you made your point!! You deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.
Let's call this a 2.5, dead in the center of the scale.
Decent-- surely he has a bent against the Dodgers.
