The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This non-fiction best seller has so many reviews I realize mine will only be read by people who follow my reviews or blog, but for those people I say GET THIS BOOK AND READ IT. It’s a wonderful, thrilling, true, heart-warming story. My father was on crew at the U. of Washington as a coxswain so I had a special reason to read it, but I would have done so anyway. I listened to the audiobook and the reader was superb. I can’t praise this book enough. I’ll stop here, since people are more likely to read short reviews than long ones.
