Good read, great man but light... - Rated
Dean is truley a great runner...totally awesome and perhaps one of the worlds great athletes. What he does and how he does it are amazing.
Parts of this book are very funny - taking up running again after a huge night out and running in his boxers and vest for 30 miles or so. Bits very moving - the charity relay run he did solo for the girl who needed a kidney transplant. Bit truely inspirational - how he overcomes obstacles and lets nothing stop him in reaching his amazing goals.
Enjoyed reading the book and would recommend it. But...two or three issues stop this being a great book for me. First its very light - read it over a couple of days, could have done with more depth in places. Second its a bit too "american" not not quite right but thats sort of self help look at me approach - did not quite feel real (although I know it is). Finally not sure if its a wise book to follow - pain is good is hardly a mantra that sounds recommendable.
So a good read but left me feeling a little light afterwards.

Fab book. Dean has a very easy writing style. I finished this book in a couple of days and know that I will be reading it again (and again!).
Dean proves that you can do anything if you set your mind and body to it.
gripping and inspirational - Rated
if you're into running or a similar sport (at any level) you should buy this book; a compelling read and a great motivator.

This man is truly extraordinary. I read this book and now I'm signed up for the Marathon des Sables - the world's toughest footrace.
Read it, be inspired, get out there and do it!

Bought this for Holiday read, but was disappointed to finish it in a day. Incredible story of one Mans determination and drive. Found it quite inspiring and made me think about my training, after running only 5 miles and worn out, I CAN run further... and it wont kill me. Has the usual American feel to it that it's me, me, me, but this guy is super human. Hope he has good health insurance as I think all his joints will need replacing by 50 ! well worth a read.
