Book Reviews of Harriers: The Making of a Championship Cross Country Team
Book Review: An impressive effort
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a book about a high school cross country season written by two of the team members.
As I read it I had to go back a couple of times to verify that the authors were actually recent high school students. It is an amazing effort. While it may lack the polish of professional writing it more than makes up for it by it's realism. A professional writer may have made certain events sound more exciting than they really were but as I read it, I found myself silently thanking the authors for simply "telling it like it is".
I am glad I found this book. Despite the young age of the authors it in not only a book for teens. It is a book for teens or adults to enjoy and learn from. Great value for money.
