review 1: I borrowed this book from a friend. I don't think Olney is much of a writer, but this story is great. I could not put it down. This is the story of David Lipscomb University's former coach, Don Meyer. The book relates the life of Mr.Meyer, one of the most successful coaches in basketball history, after a horrific car accident resulted in the amputation of one of his legs. Always a man of faith, Mr. Meyer took this opportunity to let people who were close to him know how he really felt about them. A heartwarming story. I recommend it highly.
review 2: So far this is pretty interesting. Not being a huge sports fan, this book is keeping my attention. Can't wait to finish. I have a feeling the end will be pretty good.Update: I am a little more than half way... more through this book. I am really struggling to finish it. I am wanting so badly to give this book a good review as thanks for receiving the book for free, but I just can't. The author writes this book like a research paper. It is obviously written by a male sports fanatic. There really isn't a story flow to the book, it just lists facts and interactions with people. It is obvious that coach Don Meyer was an inspirational man, but this book is just too difficult to read. If it is ever made into a movie (as many motivational sports stories are) the script would need a major overhaul to make this into a story instead of a documentary.I am now to the point of skimming the book. I do want to see what happens in the end. I will update again when I finish.Update: I never finished the book. Too boring. If anyone wants this book to try and give it a better review, it's yours! less
