Seth Mnookin's new book reveals what it means to be a part of a major league sports team
In his new book, "Feeding the Monster," Seth Mnookin gives us a peek behind the scenes of a major league sports team. Mnookin, a former senior writer for Newsweek and contributing editor at Vanity Fair, spent one year reporting on the Boston Red Sox. He was given unprecedented access to Fenway Park and the organization, including the inner workings of the team.
The book is a must-read for Red Sox fans. In it, Mnookin interviews GM Theo Epstein and other members of the Red Sox brass to gain access to their inner workings. The book's insights are fascinating and will make for great conversation at the EMC Club.
Characters in the book
In Feeding The Monster, the characters are mostly human. In fact, the novel focuses on human interaction between characters, and Violet's relationship with her father is one of the most compelling examples. Violet's father is a college professor who is openly critical of society. He consciously avoids mass communication in his own world, and even resisted the feed when it was first installed. As a result, he is regarded as more compassionate and caring than most others in the novel.
In this novel, the monster consists of a shapeshifting creature, which takes the form of a clown named Pennywise. It originated in the void surrounding the universe, and it was reintroduced to Earth through a meteorite. It made its home underneath the land where Derry would be constructed, and fed on the indigenous tribes. When humans began appearing in the town, It awoke, and began preying on people's fear.
Bonuses
Feeding Monsters will give you extra coins and food for your baking. However, you must balance the amount of food production vs. the expected benefits. If you feed your Monster too much, it may not give you the best leveling benefit. As a result, you need to find the balance between feeding it too little and too much.
