5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, 23 Jan 2007
By M. Burch (Cornwall, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ultramarathon Man (Paperback)
I've read lots of books about people who've undertaken long journeys or done epic sporting feats, so I'm not easily impressed, but this book grabbed my interest from page 1 and held it to the end. The writer's endurance is extraordinary, and he emphasizes how mental strength becomes more important than physical strength in long races. What comes across very powerfully is his love of running and of other sports, and of life. Also, this isn't an athlete who is heavily sponsored and winning big prizes: often he runs for fun or to raise money for a good cause, and all the time he has a regular job. This is one of the best sport books I've read. Concisely written, it left me wanting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun to read, an amazing story, 20 Dec 2005
By Jake Moore (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book starts with quite a lot of cheesy stuff but develops into one of the most incredible and inspirational books I have read. Dean`s attitude towards life and running are extremely refreshing, while his athletic achievements are truley exceptional. So much so that for a recreational runner like me it is quite hard to take in the magnitude of what he has done (such as running the 100th mile of a race in under 6 minutes). But I have passed this book around a number of my friends and they have all loved it. Even the most cynical have been silently chanting `Go Team Dean!` by the end. You will not regret buying this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational Book, especially for couch potatoes like me, 10 Feb 2007
By Saurabh Mittal "livelife!" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Ultramarathon Man (Paperback)
I was earlier thinking that running a half-marathon is a great challenge for which I would need to train for months in advance. However, after reading this book I am convinced that nothing is impossible and that human mind is more powerful and capable than human body.
This book is all about the extraordinary feats we can achieve through our mind, or as Dean likes to call : through our heart.
An ultra-inspirational book for anyone looking to get fitter and shed those extra pounds!
