Reviews

[Fred · Rating 2 out of 5]

Compilation of disjointed articles without much continuity or narrative flow. The articles themselves were also kinda dull - they tended to focus a lot on facts, figures, and numbers - though some articles were more interesting than others. Also, it was very repetitive; the articles tended to repeat each other a lot.

This is a compilation of newspaper articles about Michael Phelps at different points in time until shortly after the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Lots of pictures. His own autobiography, "No Limits" is a much better source of what was going on in his mind and what motivates him still.
