"This is one of my favorite books. Reading of Lou Gehrig's struggle and eventual physical demise was heartwrenching. Very well written. Caution to non-baseball fans: there are a lot of statistics."
"This was a great book on Lou Gehrig and his rise from a young boy to a great baseball legend. One can only imagine what could have been had he not been stricken with the ALS. Not only did it delve a little into the ALS and how Lou dealt with it but it also talked about the baseball scene from a perspective that was real - not glamourized or glorified."
"I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was well-written and very informative, in an entertaining way. I learned a lot about Lou Gehrig and the type of man he was. I gave it three stars because baseball isn't my favorite topic--but other than that, I would recommend it as a good biography to read."
