A fitting, satisfying sequel to Once a Runner. This was a "bigger" piece of work, and some might say it carried more irrelevant baggage, but it felt more like a really good book and less like a cult classic. I can't imagine it would be as enjoyable if one hadn't read the first book. All in all, Parker is highly readable, the story moves briskly, the charachters remain interesting and compelling, and the story holds together nicely. I liked it enough to stay up well into the morning (on a work day) to finish it (and was glad I did).

No one writes about training as well as John.
No one can write about the race as well as John.
Most of the book was an average 5 or 6. But the chapters with training and races again hit it out of the park. A decent 8 overall from me. Not as good as the 11 for 'Once a runner', but fairly good nonetheless.
(Everything on a 10 point scale)

The sequel to Once A Runner. Read over my trip to Victoria. I thought I'd bring a running book on a weekend I was doing a marathon :)
Not bad. Much, much less running and training in this one than in Once A Runner. The story is interesting enough if you liked Cassidy from Once.
