Laura Neeter’s Reviews > Cinderella Man: The James J. Braddock Story > Status Update

I read this in preparation for offering it as part of a Reading Writing Workshop I teach to mostly 12th-grade students. I'm not, by nature, a boxing fan, so some of the more technical, sport-related sections weren't of interest to me, but the personal struggles of James Braddock and his family and the way he never stopped trying to provide for them was quite moving. The writing here is mostly strong, as well.
