The Eighty-Dollar Champion by Elizabeth Letts
4.0

I have to concur with some of the other reviewers in that this was not the most well-written book. Letts falls into a common trap of trying to make her book longer by including details that are just not pertinent. I found myself thinking "Why do I care?" entirely too often. But the thing is that I would have appreciated some more fleshing out of other parts of the story that she glosses over, especially in the epilogue. Despite these shortcomings, I still give this book four stars because the story is just so amazing that any writing pitfalls are secondary.
