review 1: Broken Laces is writing from the heart. An honest look at loss and how it affects loved ones, not sugar-coated nor rosy glasses, but a straight forward look at how a woman's death affects her husband and son. Here's an excerpt:"My wife was a smart woman — I absolutely adored her — but she didn't understand the first thing about sports. Baseball wasn't about fun. She couldn't appreciate that hard work and overcoming disappointment built character, that coddling a boy didn't grown him into a man."Broken Laces is about how a father and son build a relationship and learn to show love and support for one another. I recommend this book as a thoughtful reflection about life and what's important.

... moreeld me back from REALLY enjoying it, it was a three star read until the end which satisfied me enough to bring it up to a four star. I have no knowledge nor interest in baseball, maybe this book would appeal to Americans a little more as it's an American sport? I don't know, but the subject of baseball being so Central was certainly central to why I held myself back from this book, some of it was SO mind numbingly boring to me. Those aside, enjoyable read. less

The story was good but as I'm not a fan of baseball I found it as a boring backdrop.

Very long and drawn out, It left slot of missing Pieces in the story

It was more about sportsmanship than I prefer to read about.

Really good book. A bit sad though.
