        I tried to read this and after 15 days I was not proceeding and had to DNF it. The back story while interesting it seemed to dwell on points that didn’t seem to be important to the theme of the book (based upon the title). Joe definitely had a rough upbringing, but after 15 days of reading I had barely gotten to the first national race- the writing just wasn’t holding my attention.
