I received this book from Country Inn and Suites as part of their Read It and Return series. They have a library of books and encourage guests to take a book, read it and return it on their next visit. If you take this book, I encourage you to read it and return it, or pass it along to another who will read it. The whole purpose of the program is for people to rad as much as possible- it is a literacy support program. The book is fairly well written, and is a quick read. The book is based on the screenplay with support from other books about the depression era and professional boxing. If you liked the movie, you will enjoy reading this book. If you have not seen the movie, you will still like it.
