OK as a run of the mill book about a famous athlete. Very simply written. Talks a about races, training, etc., and fairly interesting. But the last 30 pages were so boring I simply could not finish the book. It tried. It was a library book, and I kept it out determined to finish the thing, and racked up big fines in the process, but I couldn't do it. In the end I decided that life is to short to subject yourself to something so meaningless.
