Flanagan's Run (Abridged) Audiobook

" Audiobook. Kept me entertained during many a morning workout but much longer than it should have been and some things were just too implausible for me (i.e, the Capone run-in and outcome, and the evil Olympic chairman), but likeable characters and in general it is sort of a shout out to runners. "

" I read this in my teens and recently found it at the library and read it again. Love this book, I want to own it! "

" Enjoyable story of the first American cross country foot race in the 1930's and the obstacles that had to be overcome by its feisty organizer. "

" haunting story. All the characters have a reason to run and soon you want all of them to win. "

" My favorite running book of all time, so I give it 5 starts for top of the genre. "

" Great read. The running theme was a good one to keep me interested. Not normally a big period piece buy but loved the running, loved the characters. Great story. I listened to it on Audible and the narrator was absolutely amazing - killer accents. "

" I loved it. A big story, told through characters you actually care about. I didn't want it to end. Wish he'd written more. "

" I'm surprised I enjoyed this book. Never dragged on and I couldn't put it down. Nothing earth shattering but it did make me think about my own running career (or lack thereof) and make a more determined effort to get back into competitive running. "

" very entertaining historical novel based in the 1930s about a race across America. "

" haunting story. All the characters have a reason to run and soon you want all of them to win. "
