This book has it's high points to be sure, laugh at loud moments as well. It also has times of content you may want to skip over. If you've played APBA or Strat chances are you'll find it enjoyable at times. It's only 200 pages so it's not a huge time investment and you'll likely get some enjoyment from it.

Dreadful, just dreadful, beyond dreadful. If you want to read a great book about dice baseball you must read The Universal Baseball Association, by Robert Coover. End of Story.

Nice addition to any APBA collection.

This is a very funny book. A slapstick buddy film in novel form, Roll! They Cried is consistently good-natured and high-spirited (and would, in fact, make an outstanding film). The humor may be broad, but Soren Narnia carries it off with wit and style. Not only are the jokes easy and unforced, but, impressively for this type of narrative, Narnia also tells a real story, with real characters (broad characters, but characters nonetheless) and a satisfying third act. Roll! They Cried may not be profound - indeed, it actively mocks profundity at several points - but it embodies "wacky hijinks" done right, and there's nothing wrong with that.A final word for non-sports-fans: don't be put off by the baseball framework. No one could care less about baseball than me, but it truly is only a framing device, and enjoyment of the novel does not depend upon an appreciation of (or extensive knowledge about) baseball.
