Product ReviewsShoeless Joe : The Inspiration for FIELD of DREAMS by W. P. Kinsella (1999, Trade Paperback)

Just as enjoyable as the movie!

After watching the movie numerous times and wanting more the original story filled the bill. More nuances greater detail and a different style of writing kept my interest throughout the book. Reading other articles about the author and what I got from them was that W.P. Kinsella was accommodated the movie director all the time and to me between the author and the movie director a somewhat different, but equally entertaining story was told by the movie verses the novel. I'm not an avid reader and I can't put into words the writers style, but I liked it and would reccommend it to anyone having seen the movie or not.Read full review...

"Shoeless Joe" is a magical trip

Having seen the movie "Field of Dreams" multiple times, I was eager to read the novel upon which it was based. And it is truly magical. I only wish that W. P. Kinsella were still alive so I could thank him personally.Read full review...
