A Face in the Crowd
A Face in the Crowd | Stephen King, Stewart O'Nan
The writing team that delivered the bestselling Faithful, about the 2004 Red Sox championship season, takes readers to the ballpark again, and to a world beyond, in an eBook original to be published on August 21, 2012. Dean Evers, an elderly widower, sits in front of the television with nothing better to do than waste his leftover evenings watching baseball. Its Rays/Mariners, and David Price is breezing through the line-up. Suddenly, in a seat a few rows up beyond the batter, Evers sees the face of someone from decades past, someone who shouldnt be at the ballgame, shouldnt be on the planet. And so begins a parade of people from Everss past, all of them occupying that seat behind home plate. Until one day Dean Evers sees someone even eerier.

As a huge baseball fan and a big fan of the Tampa Bay Rays (especially during the time this story was set), I really enjoyed this short story. It was cool to read about my favorite supermarket Publix in a book! Publix is only around in the south so a lot of people don't know what it is. The concept of the story is very interesting and I wish it were longer. If you don't like baseball you might not be super into this. Still, worth the $1.99 to me!

LitLogophile Ah I‘m from Tampa and Publix is life, must read this! 7y
JenlovesJT47 @LitLogophile yes!! I lived in Tampa during the time this story was set (2012) so it was pretty cool. Born and raised in Florida, Publix is the best!! 🙌🏻🤗 7y

Melissa_J I love baseball (Toronto Blue Jays fan here - can we still be friends?). I might have to check this one out. 7y
JenlovesJT47 @Melissa_J the Blue Jays are cool 😎 I am first and foremost a Braves fan so I don't have any deep-seated hatred for too many AL teams 😅 The Rays are my number two team. ⚾️❤️We can still be friends 😉 7y
JenlovesJT47 @TricksyTails have you read this one? Also got a novella written by SK and Joe Hill for $0.99 🤓 7y
TricksyTails Which Joe Hill SK one?????? 7y
TricksyTails I haven‘t read it. Not a fan of sports. 🙈 7y

Mehso-so

Meh... A good distraction to listen to while doing chores. But no satisfaction in the ending.
