So I did not love this book but I did not hate it. I think that it needed more because some of the conversations were stopped
mid sentence or thought. The reader cannot get a hold of the situation if they do not know what is happening. Why did
the characters find something so funny? What was the rest of the conversation? I think it fell short there and that is the
only reason I am giving the story 2 stars.

Let me first remind everyone that this was a very short piece of fiction. It’s clearly labeled flash fiction. It took me only a few minutes to get through the roughly “just over 500 words,” which made it perfect to read just before bed. It also makes it great to read, and come back and re-read every now and then.
Being a fan of baseball since an early age, The Rookie touched me. It’s a simple story but it brought back my own childhood memories of playing ball in my yard or Little League. I was in the main character’s shoes as he stepped up to the plate, the whole game riding on his shoulders.
I’m leave anything else I want to say out of this. It’s difficult to not give too much away for a 500 word piece. It was definitely worth me picking up and reading. I haven’t read many flash fiction pieces because I normally stick to at least at least a “short story” length (whatever that actually means, haha). But in the pieces I’ve read, this one is beautifully crafted, short, and to the point. MacGowan took a limited amount of words and didn’t waste any of them.… (mehr)

It's a perfect story for anyone wanting a good laugh to brighten up the day. I wasn't sure what was going to happen next as some points, especially the ending. I had somewhat of an idea but not in a clear way. It was a great twist at the end that added to the hilarity. I would like to see some more stories of the gnome variety from MacGowan. I'll surely read them, and I look forward to checking out his novel soon.

It's short and paints a picture well. Not bad I gave three stars but I love the baseball imagery. I would encourage the author to keep writing.
