5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely well written and informative but with a twist., 28 April 2003
By A Customer
This book is'nt the standard swimming book, I bought to encourage and motivate my own swimming but it has done so much more. The twist in the book is that despite being packed with detail, and swim specific information, it can be read like a storybook not just by a die-hard swimmer but by anyone with even a slight interest in the olympics in general. From the moment you read the first paragraph you will not put this book down. Mullen has obviously got an impressive knowledge of both the olympics and swimming, but also of how to tell a story. Well worth reading.
