Title: Very good but short and sometimes repetitive.
Product review: This book tells two stories. The first is a recap of the 1982 "Duel in the Sun" Boston Marathon in which Alberto Salazar and Dick Beardsley run within inches of one another for the entire race - arguably the most exciting distance race ever.The second story tells about the lives of the two very different men - both of which face their own failures and triumphs.Both stories are interesting but in my opinion could have been more in depth. I read the book in a little over one day. The book was rather thin to begin with and the font was quite large and often there would be a blank page between chapters. Also there were some things, especially in the stories of the men's lives, that were repeated multiple times. I felt that it read more like a very long magazine article rather than a book.
