5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Powerboat Fans, August 4, 2000

Mike Lynn (CT, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Don Aronow: The King of Thunderboat Row (Hardcover)

"Don Aronow: King of Thunderboat Row" is as good as it gets for even the casual powerboat fan. It contains an amazing blend of breathtaking photographs, fascinating anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories of Aronow's personal and professional life. George Bush's contribution to the book is a wonderful and moving addition. Michael Aronow has done an extraordinary job. He has delivered a winner, proudly carrying on the Aronow tradition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best boat book ever, December 20, 2000

Kaval Lamba (Beverly Hills, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Don Aronow: The King of Thunderboat Row (Hardcover)

This is the best book ever written about speedboats. Unbelievable stories combined with awesome photographs. This is as close as you can get to the action.

Don Aronow was the Babe Ruth of boat racing. It's refreshing to see him finally get the recognition he deserves.

Michael Aronow did a great job.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Pictures, Story is very safe., November 28, 2002

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Don Aronow: The King of Thunderboat Row (Hardcover)

I enjoyed the wonderful pictures that practically fill this thin book. They truly are unique and rare photographs for the most part. However, the story as far as a biography goes is sorely lacking in any great depth. And as you might expect of one's son, told from a safe vantage point, leaving much of the true gritty details out. The text encompasses as much a play by play of Don's racing career more so than anything else. Those who want to know the true story of Don Aronow beyond his race victory's should look elsewhere, but do by this book for the pictures, they are excellent.
