"With the current economic situation, I've enjoyed reading about the 1930's depression and dust bowl, but this book is more. It's a story about three contrasting personalities: Braddock, Baer and Braddock's manager. Enjoyed the movie and the book equally."
"To his detriment, Schaap refuses to take the reader inside the ring, preferring instead to show us the pugnaciousness of his subject, and his fight scenes, though evocative, become repetitive. Yet, somehow, the book grows on you; for what it is - a straightforward story of a blue-collar prizefighter - it works decently well."
