5.0 out of 5 stars My One and Only..., May 22, 2009

This review is from: Race Against Death: A True Story of the Far North (Hardcover)

As a child in elementary school, I was plagued with what would later be called Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.) I could not read anything longer then a magazine article. I tried and tried to read books, but by the time I turned to page 2, my mind had skipped to thinking about yesterdays Gilligan Island episode, save one...

This book captured my imagination and I couldn't put it down. Now at age 42, "Race Against Death" remains the one and only book that I have ever read, and what a great one it is!
