Thank you University of Nebraska Press for providing this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Mr. Book just finished The Fenway Effect: A Cultural History Of The Boston Red Sox, by David Krell.

The best chapter of the book was about Cheers, while the chapters on race, the 1975 World Series and the Yankees-Red Sox were also highlights.

But, there were also chapters that couldn’t hold my interest at all, such as the Citgo Sign and music at Fenway. Overall, I’m going to give this one a B. Goodreads and NetGalley require grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, a B equates to 3 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).
