[Paulius A. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Neįsivaizduoju, kaip tokia knyga atsirado Klaipėdos bibliotekoje, bet pavadinimas suintrigavo.

Skyrius, po skyriaus lėtai įriausi per šią knygą. Informacijos labai daug, nes trumpai apžvelgiami visi Olimpinių žaidynių 100 m bėgimo nugalėtojai, prizininkai ir jų treneriai.

Kai kurios istorijos labai patiko, kai kurias norėjosi praleisti. Tik faktas, kad tuo pačiu norėjosi pažiūrėti ir visus finalinius Olimpinių žaidynių bėgimus, tad kartu su knyga ne kartą jungiau ir youtbue'ą.

Ar antrą kartą tokią knygą skaityčiau? turbūt ne.

So good. Who knew "Chariots of Fire" was about as accurate as Braveheart....
