Born to Run
Published: 20 Nov. 2009, 20:09
AUTHOR: Christopher McDougall
GENRE: Individual Sports
The scenario is a writer’s dream. McDougall found a large cast of crazy characters, an exotic setting for drama and discovery, and a tailor-made showdown with which to cap the book.
By and large it’s a thrilling read, even for someone who couldn’t care less about proper stride and split times and energy gels.
McDougall’s prose, while at times straining to be gonzo and overly clever, is engaging and buddy-buddy, as if he’s an enthusiastic friend tripping over himself to tell a great story.
