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

*** &1/2 is my rating. This was a great read about a Washington state rowing team. It's main character was a boy abandoned by his family at age 10 during the depression. The hard scrabble personalities worked as a team to eventually win the 1936 Olympics in Hitler's Germany.
I could have handled a little less about boat building and the multiple boat races but considered it a good read.
