Title: Embarassingly Bad
Review: I can't honestly review this entire book because I only made it half-way through before I decided to give up. It's an excruciating journey, where amateurish writing and dull information and platitudes are forced down the reader's throat like cough medicine. A lot of research obviously went into this book, and in more capable hands I'm convinced could have made for a great story. Mitchell drops the ball, though, and makes a mess of it all, patching her research and her various story-lines together with all the stitches showing.Two great books I'd recommend instead (if you haven't already read them) are Kevin Conley's Stud, and of course the young Hillenbrand's unbeatable Seabiscuit.
