Title: Run, Baby, Run.
Product review: Being a U of O alum, circa 1972, seeing Steve Prefontaine on campus and having a couple of friends who ran for Bill Bowerman, I was prepared to dislike this book; but I found myself rushing through it, reading the entire novel on a flight from Portland to Houston. The author, John Parker, does a great job of creating his lead character, Quenton Cassidy. I found myself invested in his struggles as a runner and a person. That's not to say the book is perfect, the romance meanders and ends up dangling and the metaphysical aspects of running life at the end feel like filler, but all in all, I loved this book.If you're a track fan or a runner, you'll love this book. If not, the whole thing may leave you somewhat mystified.
