The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • I'm not sure what the the title was referring to.

    I like the way the author writes. It's a real page turner. The story keeps you interested and anxious to see what happens next. The Babe Ruth chapters could have been left out as far as I'm concerned. I'm not a fan of baseball. (although the real point of these chapters was the interaction between Babe and other characters in the book) Overall, I am enjoying the book, and have really gotten involved with the characters. I'm looking forward to the ending, and hoping it's a happy one.

  • Good Book!

    Very intense and eye opening about the late 1918 to 1920s regarding the conditions and the fight for unions and told from two very different points of view - a young man who is a police officer and a young black man running from his past who become friends. I didn't quite understand the Babe Ruth chapters but maybe they were there for comparison value. Overall, I really liked the book!

  • Wonderful book!

    I've read the entire series book by book as soon as they come out. I love this book! I'm 55, lived in Boston almost all my life and a huge history buff. This book hits on some major points in history that aren't hugely known. It's great how fiction and nonfiction are woven. I've read this book twice. This particular copy was purchased as a gift for a very good friend. He devoured this book. He was done within a week. I loved it as well!

  • The Given Day

    This book is for my reading group. It's written very well, and flows very well. It's set during WWI, and that influences everyone's lives. It's written from 3 men's viewpoints, one is Babe Ruth's. I'm sure the author will tie it all together at the end.

  • works for me

    good writing
