Listened to this book. Good narrator, but the further I got into the story, the less I liked it. Rating based on the portion I listened to. DNF pile.

As most people know I am not the most avid reader of non-fiction novels. I read Born to Run many long moons ago, and this book was recommended to me a while ago, so I figured I liked BTR, I'll probably like Running with Sherman... and I was right! It's awesome. It's such a cool story and very inspiring (I started running again! With my donkey... Well, husky, Cass). There were so many cool stories about runners and people overcoming the odds and then of course, you know, donkeys! This was a great read and I highly recommend it.

Grabbed it on my way out of the library BECAUSE of the cover. It turned out to be a fun read and I learned a lot along the way. Now I want a donkey.
