This was a fantastic book. It was very well written, followed an intriguing story line, and was insanely motivating. This book makes me want to be able to run longer and more often, as well as become a more minimalist runner. Christopher McDougall did a wonderful job blending his personal running journey with research. This book is going on my favorites shelf and will be reread many times. I cannot recommend this book enough - and not just to runners, this will keep non-runners interested as well.
