review 1: Weird things happen when you become a runner, and you really like to read. You start reading books about other people's experiences with running. This book felt like a series of shorter articles, and come to find out, the author did write most of the chapters as magazine articles. This didn't matter too much because the author is a good writer and knows how to write about the sport well. I enjoyed it, and it makes me want to go run more.
review 2: Loved that her stories weren't JUST about running. They tied in with things much bigger than her and the whole tension of her "love affair" was so captivating and relatable. She is a beautiful writer, yet blunt. I can appreciate it. I think running has humbled her as a person. I say this because she IS so brilliant; t... moreaking on a completely new lifestyle that she's never even touched before, is brave yet so humbling. She definitely brought me on her runs with her; it made me feel like a hypocrite when I wouldn't go on my morning run, and I would justify reading such a wonderful book about running instead haha. less
