Product ReviewsShoeless Joe by W. P. Kinsella (1996, Trade Paperback)

Shoeless Joe the Novel

This is the book that inspired the Kevin Costner movie "Field of Dreams." I recommend the book for people who like a somewhat quirky inspirational story and for writers who are looking to write something totally original. Maybe people who like old time baseball of the early 1900s also. To me, the movie covers things better. I like the voice in it. In the book, the husband refers to his wife as "my love" ---which is somewhat--you know---old or irritating. The book does have many parts that the movie cut. One thing I have to say is the author had to have an amazing imagination. This story is probably the best Ive come across. The guy is beyond gifted.

YOU MUST SEE THE MOVIE. Im not a baseball man at all, but the movie floors me everytime I see it. The movie isnt about baseball. It just has baseball in it. I get chills everytime the movie starts. It has a creepy, inspirational magic that no other movie has. It makes you look at small towns, cornfields, and life in general in a different way.Read full review...
