About this product

Product Information

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A surprising and moving novel of fathers and sons, forgiveness and redemption, set in the world of Major League Baseball... "Grisham knocks it out of the park."-- The Washington Post It's the summer of 1973, and Joe Castle is the boy wonder of baseball, the greatest rookie anyone has ever seen. The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas, dazzles Chicago Cubs fans as he hits home run after home run, politely tipping his hat to the crowd as he shatters all rookie records. Calico Joe quickly becomes the idol of every baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-partying and hard-throwing New York Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren Tracey finally faces Calico Joe, Paul is in the stands, rooting for his idol but also for his dad. Then Warren throws a fastball that will change their lives forever. Don't miss John Grisham's new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM, coming soon!

  • An apology after 30 years

    Another Baseball book by Grisham. Joe is a fictional character that comes alive in this book. I enjoyed how Grisham tied things togheter, with his ex minor ball player dad, who, by the way, won't be winning any Father of the Year awards, and one of his baseball heros, Joe. Although the ending is predictable, with his dad, who ended Joe's baseball career, meeting up with Joe while on his death bed, to say he is sorry, 30 years later. This book is a super fast read, and although you know where its going, it's still a fun read getting there.

  • Baseball and forgiveness, what is not to like about this book?

    For fans of John Grisham, baseball and just a well written book, this is a 5 star winner. I particularly loved the depiction of America in those times not rife with the problems of today. It took me back to a childhood in which America was still a country in which one could believe in. It also hit on all cylinders as a story of forgiveness, no matter the manner or time frame in which it is given. Thank you John for a really great, feel good book.

  • A BASEBALL STORY ABOUT LIFE

    Immediately, Calico Joe took me back to the summers of the 1970's, the summers of youth. Without a care in the world, all we would worry about was our own little league baseball team, our beloved White Sox, and girls. This story took me back to being a kid and I loved every page. I read this book out on the back porch after supper every night one week of late summer, September, 2012. My son is young, loves baseball, and he'll read this some years from now. My only complaint was that the book was not longer, or I read it too fast, it was superb. "IT IS A PAGE-TURNER."

  • Calico Joe

    Great author, I have acquired all of his books, love his style of writing.
