reviewed "The Father of Baseball": A Biography of Henry Chadwick on March 31, 2018 "The Father of Baseball": A Biography of Henry Chadwick
I meet Murry back in 2004 or 2005 at a paranormal outing. I bought this book because I enjoyed the movie Great balls of Fire and wanted to find out more about the man who wrote it and the movie.
each chaper in the book is like a mini book on all different subjents starting with the Myra and Jerry Lee (one of the best chapters in the book with lines comparing Martha Stewert to a crack whore and Jerry Lee to a wildcat's ass. I won't give the whole quotes on those as to leave something to look forward too)
The next chapters deal with everything from Murrys highschool days as a rock promotor, dealing with Elvis crazy Dr Nick, Evon Race-wife of Wrestling star Harley Race, Gail-Queen of Porn, an extraterresteral dr and then the book seques into Tibetian Buddism.
I found the chapters on Buddism a bit redundent to read only because all the names started sounding the same so I ended up making up my own names like ReRe and Za just to try and keep them all straight in my head.
Would I recommend this book - Yes. I give most chapters 4 stars and the one's on buddism 3 stars.
