"i really liked this book. When i first started it i didnt really know what to expect. But as i started reading it i began to really understand the committment and didication that it takes to really succeed at something that you are passionate about. i thought it was a really inspiring story of someone who was willing to give 110% to be the best at something he loved. It made me realize that good things and success dont just come in life, you have to work to be remembered!"
"He threw in some personable details (such as the "race" to get a dog), but overall I wasn't incredibly impressed. Everything seemed rushed (then again, he is the world's fastest swimmer, so he's used to going fast), and it left the reader kind of bored."
