Four flights later, I've finished The Boys in the Boat. I cannot recall the last time I felt such suspense and thought "what will happen" to a story to which I already knew the ending. Hailing from modest beginnings, I rooted for the guys from UW like brothers and more than once, I found myself using a Delta cocktail napkin to guide away an errant tear. I was proud to be wearing purple at the finish.
This evening, I can't quite find the words to give a proper review but it's the kind of book that will give you heart on a discouraging day and cause you to want to read all the reference notes at the end.
Well done, Mr. Brown.
