1: shakespeare bats cleanup
I liked this book because it is short sweet and funny and it was a quick read. I think it was for 7th and 8th graders because they talk about going to the bamboo field and they make out and stuff, and
that's the only reason that it would be not good for all ages.
When I started reading this I thought that it was going to be about something else, but I was not sure what it was going to be about. I would recommend this for people who like chick-flick book and they talk about the boy having girlfriends a lot and that's why I like this book, but it talks about baseball a little, too.
Like when the boy gets mono at the beginning he gets mono and has to stay home from school and likes to write poems when he is home.
That's why I recommend this book to people.

2: Book Review
This book follows the life of a kid at the age of fourteen. He is diagnosed with Mono and is but in bed for the remainder of the school year. He finds a poetry book in his Fathers collection and starts testing his own skills out. He tries Pastoral, using couplets, a sestina, and blank verse to name a few. Koertge formed his character through different kinds of poetry and I believe does and amazing job. After the first few poems you really start seeing this character come to life. I would recommend this book to any reader.

3: Shakespeare Bats Cleanup
Shakespeare Bats Cleanup is a funny, breezy, cute book. I don't think it relies as much on the themes of baseball, or even poetry, as it does on the theme of young love. Occasionally this theme becomes inappropriate as he writes poems about making out with girls in the bamboo forest and, in a sick metaphor, reaching Home Base.
Nevertheless, Shakespeare Bats Cleanup will cast a sort of spell over you. Well worth a read.
