WIJFR: The Boys in the Boat (no spoilers)

[monkeyfeet]

I loved this book. Although, I enjoy non-fiction, this read really fast and didn't have a non-fiction feeling. I can't tell you how many times I teared up while reading this.
I thought the author did a good job of interweaving what was going on in Germany with the Nazi party as well. It was interesting to see how the Olympics played into their deception, but the majority focused on the rowing story.

This is on my to-read list based on a recommendation from my aunt. She said it was a great book as well! Some day I'll end up getting it from the library so I can read it.

Dumb question, what does WIJFR stand for?

I loved the book and look forward to the movie. I read it after Unbroken, so the Olympics were featured in both.

I also really enjoyed this one - I can't remember who recommended it to me, but a really great read.

I didn't know it was being made into a movie!
