Summary: Extremely Motivational
Comment: This book really motivated me. When I read the stories of others' challenges and how they stayed committed and stuck with it, it inspired me to do the same. I could relate to a lot of the stories, and found the book easy to read since it's basically like a book of short stories. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for the encouragement to stick with a running program and a commitment to do a marathon, especially their first marathon.

Summary: Will Power
Comment: The different stories show how common people took up running. There is wide range of marathon finishers and therefore it is easy to find somebody in the book you can relate too.
What this book does best is inspire those who contemplate running a marathon. I took up running a few months ago, slowly building up my mileage. The incredible stories in the book show me that indeed it is possible to run 26.2 miles, or even more for ultramarathons. At one point it becomes a matter of mind over matter. Beyong running, this book is about the incredible abilities that lie within each one of us if we give ourselves the right training and believe we can achieve what we've decided to do.

Summary: Interesting reading, but gets monotonous
Comment: Interesting book for the first time reader. Not something that you will pick up and read over and over. As you get through several stories they actually get a little monotonous but it is still an interesting read. If you don't have to spend the money and can get it at the library, I would recommend that first.
Also, the dates of some of these runners stories are quite aged. Much of the book is like a history lesson where marathon running has come from over the past 70 years. Again interesting, but didn't do much for me.
