Book Reviews of the Ruffian: A Race Track Romance
Customer Review: Crosses The Wire Much Too Quickly
Summary: 4 Stars
Essentially a long essay - the text slightly more than 100 pages - William Nack weaves autobiographical recollections with the oftentimes brutal tragedies and brilliant triumphs of equine athletes, and recollections on the life & times of Ruffian.
For readers seeking a biography of Ruffian, this is not the course to traverse. Also, the book - published by ESPN Books - is not a movie tie-in to the ESPN-produced, made-for-TV movie, Ruffian.
It is artfully written and to truly be savored, the book needs to be meticulously read. But in the end, the brevity is the greatest disappointment.
