A review by maurareilly
Running with Sherman by Christopher McDougall

hopeful inspiring medium-paced

4.5

This was a really heartwarming story from start to finish.  There were so many stories that were connected to the main plot, but they never felt like fillers at all.  It was such an interesting premise for a story, and the writing made it feel novel but not completely unfamiliar.  The way McDougall incorporated the history of the donkey race, his family/community, and Sherman's story into a single novel is impressive and it made for a complete and satisfying narrative.
