While I had known that Stephen King was a Red Sox fan, I had not been aware of the depth of his feelings for them. This book is a candid, no-holds-barred in-depth analysis, largely game-by-game, of one of the greatest seasons in Sox history. King and co-author Stewart O'Nan don't collaborate per se, but record their separate impressions of the season, the players and the opponents. The book is equally enjoyable as a Red Sox fan, as a baseball fan, in general, or as an opportunity to experience a different style of writing if you're a fan of either of the authors.

Stephen King is an incredible writer (even those books that just didn't seem to meet the standard I've come to expect were still well written). The funny thing is that his quality and talent for writing fiction that would tend to lean more towards the fantasy/horror end of the spectrum has lent itself in a way that helped make this non-fiction story just as engrossing. I have read all of Stephen King's books so being a bit of a fan, I'm not sure how impartial my opinion could be. I recommend this book if you are an avid sports fan (more specifically an avid baseball fan) or if you are a Stephen King fan who has read some of his more familiar works and is just interested in seeing a different side of the mans talents. Other than that - if you take my word for it, you're on your own ;)
I began reading this book because I love Stephen King. I couldn't put it down because of the picture painted by King and O'nan. They remember that unforgettable season and tell stories about this. Both huge Red Sox fans, they put a spin on the 2004 season leading to the World Series from a Bosox fan's perspective. Great read. Couldn't put it down. Also would make a must have in your Red Sox World Series collection.
If you are baseball fan you would really enjoy reading this book by Stephen King .At this point I haven't finished reading it .
