This is the best book I've read this year.
The book is largely reminiscent of Seabiscuit in that Hillenbrand knows how to keep a reader suspended in time as she builds up a race. She seems genuinely awed by her subject. In this book, it's track as opposed to horse racing, but the style of telling is the same. Maybe cleaner. It, in my opinion, was better than Seabiscuit. I loved this book. Nothing more to say.
