Book Reviews of Ruffian: A Race Track Romance
Book Review: A racing must-read
Summary: 5 Stars
Nack's new book is as much a personal memoir as a recounting of Ruffian's story. It weaves together Ruffian's story with his own thoughts on racing and his experiences as a journalist covering the sport. Nack's writing is, as always, beautiful and only occasionally over-the-top. I would not consider this to be the definitive book on Ruffian (that honor belongs to Jane Schwartz' book), but it is still a must-read for racing fans. Nack has managed to create a thoughtful reflection on the meaning of racing, and the brilliance of that lovely, amazing filly that was Ruffian.
