I just finished this book and my eyes are still wet. I'm a baby when it comes to stories like these. This was such an amazing, inspiring book. Incredibly written. Growing up in Seattle I wish I had known and appreciated this story as a kid. I feel like it's part of my northwest heritage. Joe and Joyce Rantz and the other boys in the boat are my heroes.
Great book , inspirational and shows the depth of hard work and suffering one needs to endures to climb the ladder in social status or reputation in America .

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I listened to the audio version and the narrator did a phenomenal job evoking emotion onto the story and those who get to enjoy reading it. Highly recommend.
This seems like a really neat story. And the story telling was good! My brain just wasn’t following.
It's rare when you find a book that you can honestly say "is one of my favorites" and mean it. Far more elusive is to say "this is my favorite book, ever". The Boys in the Boat stands as my favorite book ever; I might live the rest of my days reading exemplary work after classic novel after moving fictional tale after...well, you get it...and never find one better.
Being from Seattle, and even knowing UW rowers, definitely brought this story more vividly to life. But make no mistake, these boys do not need you to know their town or their school or their sport or even the era they lived in (The Depression) to be moved by their journey and their accomplishment. Read it and be mesmerized.

Daniel James Brown is a word smith. He could write about the creation of a city’s sewer systems and I’d still read it because of my confidence in his researched insights paired with fantastic languaging. That’s been true for both books of his (the Indifferent Stars Above was the other text) and I look forward to reading and/or listening to his other works.
(I listened to this book on Audible) Edward Herrmann is a marvel of a narrator. Before putting the name to the face, his voice felt familiar and soothing, like a grandfather reading an afternoon story to a room full of children in rapture. At the same time, his tone and delivery were learnedly and smooth. I absolutely felt Herrmann added to the story based on the time period and the university backdrop.

Loved the story. Didn’t love how it was told.
I listened to the audiobook for this one so maybe that’s why it didn’t capture my attention like I thought it would. It read very factual with little narrative which was hard for me to stay engaged.

I’m not usually a non-fiction person, and maybe it’s the pregnancy hormones, but WOW this book had me tearing up multiple times! Great prelude to the Olympics this summer.
