I just finished reading this book as I write this. The first half of the book is pretty good, but this rabbi really makes a better case for god not existing than theism. As the book goes on, he starts to contradict himself and his arguments start to turn very very weak. He should have only made this book half as long.

Bottom line, if you are atheist and want to maybe convince your friends or family that believing in god is stupid, this might be a good introduction book for them.

Talk about dated! However, that's not a knock because "dated" many times means fun to watch, and nostalgic for some. This is an entertaining film and very likable. In one respect, it's very up-to-date: cheating in baseball!

But, if you are a baseball fan or know anything about the game, be prepared. The actors in here have NO CLUE how to throw a baseball or how to bat. This has the hokiest baseball scenes ever put on film. It's almost like those corny Ed Wood and others sci-fi films of the 1950s that are so bad, so corny that they are good, if you know what I mean.

The story is at its funniest when Ray Milland pitches and the ball dispy- doodles around the baseball bats of all the hitters. The college professor had invented a substance in his classroom lab that when applied to something makes it avoid touching wood, so swabbed on a baseball, a bat could never make contact with the ball! Presto.....Milland goes from geek to baseball hero - without steroids, too (although it's still cheating).

Dumb...but innocent fun and definitely has enough laughs to make it worthwhile watching. Before every couple baseball seasons, I put this tape in the machine and laugh. It's got a lot of charm. I'd buy the DVD if someone would put it out!
