Be sure to read Bill Ott’s review of 7: The Mickey Mantle Novel, by Peter Golenbock, today’s Review of the Day. He didn’t like it very much. Another sports-related, quasifictional book, O. J. Simpson’s If I Did It, got more publicity for its role in the downfall of Judith Regan and Regan Books — but until another publisher steps up to the plate, as Lyons did here, the jury’s still out on that confession.
(I mixed those metaphors on purpose, darn it!)
