review 1: As a recreational endurance athlete and the parent of a child with a rare incurable genetic disease I found the topics to be personally interesting and quite accurate. The story is compelling, fast paced, and suspenseful.In a perfect world there is always a happy ending; in this story the ending is a mix of wonder and tragedy; a far more realistic perspective than most people are willing to accept. It is a well told story with some fascinating insights into ultra-marathoners, big pharmacy and biotechnology.
review 2: Sherman’s emotional triumphant debut story captivates with compelling characters, intriguing dilemmas against the background of ultramarathons and biotechnology. I was not quite sure what to expect from the book but was pleasantly surprised in wh... moreat seemed like a straightforward plot turned provocative as the storylines explores a moral dilemma from different points-of-view. The book is appropriately titled as there are different types of “races” happening but the most important one is that the reader will race to see how the story ends. Perfect vacation read. less
