An enjoyable read overall. The telling of the “brave arctic explorer” is by far the highlight of the book, and I wish t here had been another story of that caliber nearer to the end of the book.

A good book overall - inspiring stories, sad stories, and some stories which get lost as copies of the rest. But reading it just before watching the 2010 Ironman Kona made seeing all of the people out there in a different light.

A fun, fast, and informative read - focuses mostly on ultras, and makes me want to get out and run an ultra at some point.

Much better than the movie - in fact, if you've seen the movie you have no idea what the whole story is!
