Description
"Wild...Romantic...Unconventional...A triumph of hope."
THE BOSTON GLOBE
The voice of a baseball announcer tells the Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella: "If you build it, he will come." "He" is Shoeless Joe Jackson, Ray's hero. "It" is a baseball stadium which Ray carves out of his cornfield. Like the movie FIELD OF DREAMS that was made from this novel, SHOELESS JOE is about baseball. But it's also about love and the power of dreams to make people come alive....
W. P. Kinsella plays with both myth and fantasy in his lyrical novel, which was adapted into the enormously popular movie, Field of Dreams. It begins with the magic of a godlike voice in a cornfield, and ends with the magic of a son playing catch with the ghost of his father. In Kinsella's hands, it's all about as simple, and complex, as the object of baseball itself: coming home. Like Ring Lardner and Bernard Malamud before him, Kinsella spins baseball as backdrop and metaphor, and, like his predecessors, uses the game to tell us a little something more about who we are and what we need.

Summary: "Field of Dreams, heaven? Nope, it's Iowa."
The movie Field of Dreams has been my favorite movie of all time for about 15 years now. And it now tops a list of about 380 films that I have compiled. I am from Iowa, and for a period during the 1990's I attended about 2 Atlanta Braves games per year. I have since become a bigger Nascar fan and don't attend Braves games in person anymore, but I still follow the Braves in the newspaper.
I just now bought the book "Shoeless Joe" and love it. The movie has magic and the book has even more magic. Some plot points are the same between the movie and the book, and of course the book goes into more detail and has additional story threads (Kid Scissons, etc.). I attended the Field of Dreams Movie site near Dyersville, Ia for the first time in late July 2010. It is in pristine condition. The corn is high, the grass is green and mowed, the bases are white and puffy and the dirt is brown and soft. If re-takes of the movie needed to be filmed today, they could. It is preserved that well.
I may never have a moment of pure joy and magic then when I sat on the bleacher near left field at about 6pm the day I visited the field. I had my book with me and at the time I was about half way through. I jumped ahead to when Ray and J.D. pick up Archie Graham hitchhiking on their way back to Iowa and then their final approach to the property. It was perfect. Quiet, sunny, breezy, and the sights, sounds, and memories profound. I plan to return early and often and stay much longer.
As far as the book goes, I cannot be a passionless reviewer. I love the movie, and the book has provided more detail and variations on what was presented in the movie. It's been truly a delight. I'm about finished with the book and I am stalling so it will not be over. I may just start reading the book from the beginning again.
I remember reading somewhere that this book wasn't that good. Not very well written and presents a more dreary Ray Kinsella as far as his journey East to pick up the author (J.D. Salinger). They couldn't be more wrong. I'm guessing they just didn't "get it".
If you are a fan of the movie, or a fan of baseball, or just like a good story, I'd highly recommend this to you.

Summary: "Great theme and ideas, really bad writing"
"Shoeless Joe" has lots of great ideas, and the central theme is nothing short of amazing. However, Kinsella's writing style is so "unique" that it can be extremely difficult to read. The dialogue is awkward, the characters are flat, and as has been mentioned before, he basically describes every person, place, thing, and action in this novel through an endless series of analogies. Excusing poor writing gets tiresome, and it detracts from the overall enjoyability of the novel. This is one example of a story that Hollywood elevated from its original source material. And this review is not coming from a high school student who read the book as part of a class assignment, as a previous reviewer has suggested for anyone with less than a 5-star review of the book. Overall, reading this novel is like tolerating a poor imitation of your favorite meal cooked by an inexperienced chef at a poorly managed restaurant. Its heart is in the right place, and it does in fact resemble something you love; but it's impossible to enjoy because the taste is so appalling.

Summary: "Pursuing your dreams"
Shoeless Joe is a sports story unlike any other. Rather than focusing on baseball, it focuses on a character (who's name is strangely similar to the narrator's. Coincidence?) chasing after his dreams, which began in his cornfield when he heard a voice whispering that line everyone is now familiar with, "If you build it he will come." These dreams he has throughout the book seem very bizarre, but he pursues them because he believes in them and he believes in himself and he knows the clues in the dreams will lead to the answers he seeks.
The narration is very poetic and free flowing, filled with similes that really add perception to the story and its characters. It's a very fun, unpredictable, and uplifting novel. There was a popular movie about this book called "Field of Dreams," which is a decent film, but it's not as engaging and not as strong symbolically as the book.
Overall, this is a great book that anyone can enjoy. It's very well written and it's a very unique story. You really don't need to be a baseball fan, or any kind of sports fan for that matter, to enjoy it. I know that sounds cliched, but it's very true for Shoeless Joe. If you've seen the movie then, regardless of your opinion, you definitely need to read this book.
