Mr. Vertigo



I just finished reading this book last night. It was a quick read and quite entertaining. The story is told by a man recalling his childhood/life as Walt the Boy Wonder. A boy who could fly. It is a very nice combination of magical realism and historical fiction set in the 1920s-40s.

Mr. Vertigo was recommended to me by Adrian and he thought I would enjoy it because the boy is a huge Cardinals fan. So, periodically he will discuss Rogers Hornsby or Dizzy Dean. It is a very fun book, with enough plot twists and a quick pace to keep the reader very interested.

I think AJ & BJ should read this. (Well, the rest of you should read it also.)
