This review is from: Overtime: A Basketball Parable (Kindle Edition)
This is a poignant book. At first it seems like “Field of Dreams–Basketball.” Once you push past the initial parallels, the depth of this book comes through. Purgatory and accounting/atoning for past sins and mistakes (even well intentioned ones) gives this book a somber and reflective tone. The characters have depth and frailty that the author painstakingly constructs–there are only sinners here, no saints. There is also a mystery about the setting that the author does well to leave mysterious. This is not the book for a person looking for easy answers and a fairytale resolution. This book was clearly developed and written with great thought and feeling. A good book to read for the contemplative reader.
