Verducci was there through it all, he clearly did thorough interviews and research with everyone involved after the fact, and he sets up the time to tell his story the way he wants to. There are so many details here it's beautifully hard to take it all in, and as a Cubs fan, it still feels unreal. It is not a great work of literature, but there is some pretty writing. It is also, first and foremost, about the team and the Cubs organization - there are no fan interviews, no attempts to situate the incredible season in the broader cultural context of that crazy year.

The story, and the people in it, exist in isolation. But it is a beautiful story about good people, and for any baseball fan, a well-written dive into the best baseball story of the last century. Highly recommended for a Cubs fan, recommended for a baseball fan, and enjoyable enough for anyone else.
