“Innings
Through Time is so unique, no single category can accurately describe
it. Aside from being the greatest baseball story I have ever read, it
is also a thrilling adventure. It’s also a captivating
historical novel filled with tons of intrigue, mystery and riveting
suspense. Plus one of the most touching and inspiring love stories
you will ever read.
Its
striking concept coupled with all of its twists and turns will hold
your interest from beginning to end. I guarantee it!”

An
Ingenious Story With An Incredible Ending. AMAZING!
By
B. Kogan
Since
I am not a sports enthusiast, this was the first book I've read that
had baseball as a theme, or any sport. Something about it intrigued
me greatly so I purchased it. I am a bit of a history buff so I
thoroughly enjoyed all of the history that was interwoven throughout.
But this was also the first book I've ever read in one day! It was
that engrossing. The story, the layout of it, the twists and turns,
and everything about it was ingenious. And as I read from a previous
review, the ending cannot be described accurately. One has to read it
to believe it. Great
book! Great read! Would make a great movie! 5 Stars
aren't enough!
Baseball
at its best

R. Callori
After
reading this book you come away with a feeling of being uplifted and
transcended into a life you wish you were a part of. It
made my love of baseball have a deeper meaning, one I will carry with
me forever. These "baseball buddies" are
as real to me as any friend or family member. A very memorable read.
Amazing
and wonderful!
By
R. Grudens
Here
is a story that starts agonizingly slow, but finishes in the big
league of stories that are magical, compelling and wonderful. It's
a Wonderful Life baseball story with so many twists
and turns that finally ends like all great stories should. The
characters are compelling, truly human beings whose empathy you
share. As you turn each readable page and the story unwinds, you feel
a part of it. It's baseballs
best story as advertised. It's
the Gone With the Wind of baseball magical stories with
an ending you cannot reveal because you could not describe it
adequately as Chris Valenti has arranged it with genius. Five stars
aren't enough. This book bats 1000.
Inspiring...........Awesome!

This
book is incredible. I loved, loved, loved it. I read it cover to
cover without putting it down. I couldn't; I was captivated after the
first few pages. Mr. Valenti does a wonderful job, with so many
twists and turns, you'll never figure out the ending. Don't think
twice about reading this one......you most definitely won't regret
it. This would make a
wonderful movie.
Best
book I've read in years!
By
J. Maura
I'm
usually very skeptical about claims of being the greatest of anything
so I stayed away for about a day or so then I finally made the
plunge. Glad I did. If this isn't made into a movie I'd be very
surprised. I am very familiar with every baseball title referenced in
the description and most are my favorites. So I was floored when I
finished this book to have learned that every claim held up
specifically. This was also the quickest I've read a book in a while
and I think that says something. Bravo to author Valenti! I think he
has something here and gave us something to truly enjoy. I am very
tough on things and was planning on being tough here too, but I
can't. I can't believe I'm saying
this, but this
might the greatest baseball story I've ever read or known.
I give it 5 stars!
Best
baseball fantasy epic ever!!
By
J. Brewster
This
is a must read for baseball enthusiasts, nostalgia buffs and all
others who are tired of reading some of the mundane writings that
have appeared over that last few years. If you read one book this
year make it this one. From the first chapter it has you in its grip.
The uncle, the mystery tale he is about to unfold in chapter one.
After that you can not put
it down! Buy it, read it, recommend it, No
disappointments here.
Innings
Through Time review
By
R. Pandolfi
I
can honestly say I've read Innings Through Time more than once. It's
the kind of story that leads you on, wanting you to find out what
will happen next, And it doesn't disappoint you. I
found it so enthralling that after completing it I found myself
rereading it. This book is must read for anyone who
enjoys a good story with a supernatural twist. Steven King move over.
AWESOME
BOOK!!!
By
J. Kessler
This
was a wonderful book mixing baseball, time travel, and fantasy. I
could not put this book down. I would highly
recommend reading this book.
Fun
Read!
By
C. Quinn
If
you enjoy contemplating a book long after you've read it, this book
is for you. It is NOT just for baseball fans. It is a fun and
captivating read for the young, old, despaired & the hopeful. It
is unpredictable and pleasantly surprising because no sooner you
think you know where it is going, you discover that you don't, as
each enchanting chapter is read. This book has it all; love, tragedy,
mystery, magic and lots of history. The author does a great job
bringing the reader into the hearts and minds of his characters. And
the historical facts interwoven throughout the book causes the
reader to remind himself that the story is fiction. Can
someone please make this into a movie?
The
Greatest Story
By
R. Hughes
This is a wonderful
read, and this comment is from a "Two-Book-A-Week" Reader!
I have read the novels of Dickens, and this book reminds me in so
many ways of Charles Dickens approach to the novel. A stimulating
story, a slice of present day life, good guys, with even villains
having their attributes! Underlying all, social mores, lessons to be
learned, and who will ever forget "Joe & Marie".
Finally, just a touch of the supernatural in the purest way, to
stimulate our sense of forever! In summary, I
highly recommend this book to readers of all ages and gender, even if
they have never heard of "baseball!"
