The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of America's Childhood by Jane Leavy

4.0

Comprehensive and uncompromising look at the life and career of Mantle. It's clear that the author left no stone unturned in her work and research. However, some of the writing decisions were tedious and frustrating in my opinion. Aside from just being a bit over-written at times, I felt like she frequently used some strange and confusing quotes to garnish or punctuate various anecdotes and passages. But moving beyond my whining, this is still an excellent read for anyone with even a passing interest in the subject matter.
