Fantastic book
I absolutely loved this book. Having read Born to Run I have been looking for other books on running or adventure that inspired me the same way. I found this book completely by accident and I could not put it down, reading it in 3 nights. The author writes extremely well creating a real page turner. It weaves together the story of a great Ethiopian champion most of us have not heard about, an incredible coach and the leaders of Ethiopia in the 1950s and 60s. It did exactly what a great book should do, make you hungrier to learn more. I now find myself interested to learn more about Ethiopia, Hailee Selassie, Abebe Bikila and Olympic running. Now that I am on Amazon I learn that the book is historical fiction. I had no idea while reading it. I was under the impression it was a heavily researched and accurate book. (I guess I should research that!) While I am slightly disappointed, don't let this deter you from reading it. Very entertaining, energizing and inspiring. Enjoy.

Gripping and comprehensive
The book is a well-organized account of Abebe's life and influences. The writing style makes it an easy read and allows the reader to appreciate the context within which the story is set, which makes the core story even more powerful.

Interesting read.
Really enjoyed this book. Very inspiring. However, I did think that the book was going to be more about the barefoot running than it turned out to be.
