Title: This is really a lodging/dining guide to 12 semi-random cities
Review: As an avid endurance athlete myself I was hoping this book would capture the "soul" of the 12 marathons presented in this book. For the Boston marathon, for example, the author captures none of the excitement when seeing the Citgo sign for the first time, the deafening cheers as you pass Wellesly College, and being treated like a celebrity all weekend.The author shares little to none of her personal account with the 12 marathons covered in this book. Indeed the author herself claims she has only run 7 marathons and doesn't mention which of the 12 she's personally experienced.This book is more of a sterile dining/lodging guide to 12 semi-random cities rather than a book about 12 marathon experiences.
Is the review positive or negative?
