GREAT book. Took awhile to be hooked, but I couldn't stop reading once I was.
Before this book, I knew nothing of rowing, and I hesitated to buy it. I didn't know what a coxswain or a stroke oar was, but I was urged by my grandfather, who rowed at UCLA, to read it. I'm glad I did.
This book is utterly fascinating. I was enthralled by it. Though by the title, I could assume they won the gold, each race had the at the edge of my seat, my heart pounding. I felt like I was with them. The author explores the lives of each oarsman and they become like old friends: familiar, dear, and captivating. The time period is also extremely interesting, and the author really captures the mood and tone beautifully.
I would recommend this to anyone, especially those who have an interest in WWII or the depression. Don't be turned away by the rowing theme. I knew nothing about rowing, and I absolutely loved it. While reading, I kept YouTubeing videos of Olympic rowing so I could better visualize the story, I was seriously caught up in this book. Really captivating and fantastically written.

I read 'The Boys in the Boat' by Daniel James Brown and gave it five stars. It's on numerous best book lists and was also a chapter in the book 'The Admiral's Bookshelf'. The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Very well-written and thoroughly researched, it was an enjoyable read.
Amazing read. A ridiculously inspiring book not just about rowing, but about finding people who love you and accomplishing things you never thought you could. You're going to cry at the end- not of sadness, but of joy.
