Extremely well written and informative but with a twist.- By: , 28 Apr 2003 This book is'nt the standard swimming book, I bought to encourage & motivate my own swimming but it has done so much more. The twistin the book is that despite being packed with detail, & swim specific information, it can be read like a storybook not just by a die-hard swimmer but by anyone with even a slight interestin the olympicsin general. From the moment you read the first paragraph you will not put this book down. Mullen has obviously got an impressive knowledge of both the olympics & swimming, but also of how to tell a story. Well worth reading.
