Review: Summerland

SummerlandSummerland by Michael Chabon
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I had wanted to read this book for a long time. Chabon, Summer, Baseball, Fantasy -- what could go wrong? I found that I just wasn't into it, though. Perhaps it was because I read it in the fall, at the end of baseball season. The book felt too constructed to me, written to a specification. I did find myself very interested in some scenes, but the whole story - the connectedness of the scenes - just didn't grab me.
