I found this gem on the internet, and thought I'd share it with you guys. It's a book review from April, 1969 (just as the novel was being released) by Dick Schaap, for The New York Times. (Schaap would later go on to author many sports books.)

The really weird thing is I remember reading this review when it first appeared (I was a senior in high school, getting ready for my summer break before going to college....I was looking for a few books to read over the summer).
