Nice Little Short Story

The Connelly short story was good. I found myself at times wishing it were a full blown novel as the story and characters were good - as is all of Connelly's material.

The second short story was ok.

The reader was good.

Overall, recommended.

Story is Good When You Can Hear It.

Loved both of these short stories. However, I had to use the top sound level on my Echo to understand without a struggle. I know I have hearing issues, but this was unusual especially since the narrators are not baritones (I regularly have trouble with the lower pitch).

great writing, just not enough of it.

Where does Two Bagger rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I always like Michael's writing and I was looking for something other than harry bosch. the story was good there just wasn't enough of it. now looking for more harry. I know he can write only so fast, but I am waiting. story about more than baseball.

Any additional comments?

go Michael.

I prefer Connelly's longer stories

I like Michael Connelly's full novels and feel that the stories here could have been (and should have been) fleshed out to create whole novels.

2 short stories equals 1 hour of GREAT Listening!

What did you love best about Two Bagger?

Both are based around good ol' american baseball! However, you don't have to know or love the game to enjoy these 2 short stories

What did you like best about this story?

In the 2nd story I loved the way the old underdog comes out on top!

Which character – as performed by Lee Horsley – was your favorite?

Charlie in the 2nd story. A older mostly B class baseball star (retired).

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laugh! In the 2nd story, Charlie, always has the good come-back line.

Any additional comments?

Both of these stories are really well written. Buy the time they are finished, you really wish that each one was a full novel.
