Review: Amazing Story
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 03 3, 2012
The author wrote such a bare bones narrative that at first I was tempted to give up.  It took several chapters before the story captured my full interest.  By the end I could not put the book down.  The description of the race was heartstopping.Since I am old enough to remember the end of WW II there was much more that could have filled out the story for some background on those first Olympics following the war.If not for the slow beginning this book would have earned five stars.  If you persevere you will be rewarded with a great story.
