I found this book to be a thorughly good read, not too bogged down in stats. The author does a fine job of drawing you into the event, keeping the tale moving along nicely, i found myself always keen to read a little bit further before i put the book down. It does however, start off with a bit too much history & of runners who no doubt paved the way but weren't necessarily on a "quest to break the four minute mile". The title & cover implies that it's all about Roger Bannister & THAT time, but this takes a while to get to. Still an enjoyable book though.
