Gage Diffee’s Reviews > The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics > Status Update

This book is WILD so far. Apart from the rowing, which is a whole world in and of itself, the story of Joe Rantz has been nothing short of captivating. Parents leave their 10 yr old son stranded in their abandoned house to live BY HIMSELF and he learns how to survive and even THRIVE. Hard to put down.
