from Simon & Schuster

Customer Review:

"Olympics that Changed The World." Huh?
Once again ... "Olympics That Changed The World." What the?
Rome 1960? Really? Maraniss cannot be serious. What an absurd title!

I really liked this book; however, it was more of an almanac than a picture book. Very cool.

Off the Deep End

Customer Review:

Terribly written, going no where book, no plot no nothing. Appears to me that he wrote this book because he was broke by foolishily following his dream to swim in the olympics.

Golden Girl: How Natalie Coughlin Fought Back, Challenged Conventional Wisdom, and Became America's Olympic Champion
from Rodale Books
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:

Not everything Natalie has to say shows everyone in the best of light; that's because not everyone is exactly a "great" person. This is her book and her story--if she felt someone mistreated her or did this or that wrong, she's entitled to say. All of this is part of why she is the great athlete she... more info

The Amateurs: The Story of Four Young Men and Their Quest for an Olympic Gold Medal
from Ballantine Books
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:

I am a big fan of David Halberstam. Like his other books, this one was well written, but I just could not get into the subject matter. The main characters that he follows were uninteresting and pretty one dimnesional in their rowing obsession. Halberstam seems to worship their dedication to a sport... more info

A Skating Life: My Story
from Hyperion
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:

I loved Dorothy`s book. It was just as candid as the photo on the cover. For an armchair skater like me, who has followed figure skating for the past 40 years, it was a pleasure to be once on the inside of that world. I have such admiration for the dedication of those skaters and for their love of... more info

China's Great Leap: The Beijing Games and Olympian Human Rights Challenges
from Seven Stories Press
Price: $11.37

Customer Review:

This book aims at making a profit with the current trend of China bashing across the globe. With this objective, the selected contents are obviously biased, and even questionable to some extent.
This is not a book for anyone who wants to look at China from holistic perspectives that come from... more info

The Red Rose Crew: A True Story of Women, Winning, and the Water
from The Lyons Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:

I am the proud parent of a stroke rower. This story, of very different women, from widely geographic and psychological backgrounds, all coming together to do something no one had done before, is mesmorizing and grabs at every heartstring I have. The forward is equally compelling. I have met one of... more info

This will go down as the best swimming book ever written. The facts of non-fiction with the fluidity of a great novel. PH Mullen has written the aquatic masterpiece.
