5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Book!
By ToTheMorning on October 7, 2007
Format: Hardcover
This book is written at a junior high level, but the topic and writing are captivating for adults to read as well as kids at the junior high level. Unlike other books about Jim Thorpe, this book takes the reader on a journey through what every day life could have been like for Jim Thorpe from childhood through his early adulthood. Jim Thorpe is a great role model for everyone, and this book is a great introduction to his life.

5.0 out of 5 starsFills generation gap
By Linda Wenrick on April 20, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Based on phone reviews from my grandson & his mom, this is a great read, packed with credible history of growing-up-Oklahoma in Indian Country, forced into Boarding School horrors off reservation -- and habitually running away.
Jim Thorpe, however, ultimately turned into what many consider the best athlete of his day - perhaps even the last century. "Very well written", says my daughter, who picks it up after her son falls asleep to polish off another chapter.

4.0 out of 5 starsJim Thorpe: Original All-American
By Amazon Customer on November 22, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed reading about Jim Thorpe. Although I knew he was famous in the world of football, i had no idea how skilled he was in the various other athletic arenas. Although it was a little redundant at times, I gained a lot of knowledge and empathy for all that Native Americans went through and encountered in this country as a minority race in the world of sports.. I recommend it as essential reading for sports fans and anyone interested in the historical role of Native Americans in sports.

4.0 out of 5 starsWhat an inspiring story about a an athletic native American.
By bookworm on November 22, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I enjoyed reading about Jim Thorpe in this book because the author does a good job of not boring the reader with to many dates and details while still giving interesting descriptions. I chose four stars because it isn't the most exciting book but it is a fun animated story that draws the reader in with twists, foreshadowing, and good dialogue. I suggest this book to any football fans who want to know more about the history of the game and heroes of it. Thanks for taking this into account.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Story and I reccomend reading it.
By Amazon Customer on November 6, 2013

It is well written. Jim Thorpe has always been my favorite athlete. He accomplished what no other athlete accomplished by winning both the Pentathlon and the Decathlon events. I saw the movie when I was a child when it first came out.
