Book Review

This is a review for the book Pujols, More Than the Game.

I need to do a bit of a disclaimer about myself before I tell you my opinion on the book. I am not a huge baseball fan, in fact I hadn't even heard of Albert Pujols before I read this book, so I probably shouldn't have chosen to read it, but I read more than the game in the title and thought that meant it would be more his life than about baseball statistics.

Albert Pujols sounds like a very neat guy. He has amazing baseball skills and a deep love for the Lord. He has a desire to serve and help children with down syndrome and their families. He also does alot for the people in the Dominican Republic, which is where he is from. The chapters telling about these works were very fun to read. Unfortunately a lot of chapters spent a lot of time telling about his hitting percentages, RBIs and game plays from games throughout the years, that for a baseball fan would be very interesting to read, but for me was only tedium. What I got out of this book is that Albert Pujols is a very hard working, studious baseball player that wants to do his very best for his team the Cardinals and give the honor to God. He is also very dedicated to being a great father and husband.

So, if you are a sports fan you will probably love this book if you aren't, this book may not be for you.
