The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

Excellent

I never write reviews and I am not in the least a sports fan but this book captivated me from the very beginning and ended up moving me beyond words. It is extremely well written and expertly narrated. I highly recommend it.

The Last Town on Earth centers on the inhabitants of a small logging town in Washington and what happens when they take drastic measures (quarantine) to try and protect themselves from the virulent and deadly flu epidemic of 1918. When a deserting WWI soldier demands sanctuary, events are set in motion that change the town forever.

Could have been better
Revisado: 02-14-13
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The narrator. A better narrator might have kept me engaged in the story. As it was I felt no involvement or investment in the characters.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Unremarkable ending.
What didn’t you like about Henry Strozier’s performance?
Slow, tedious, I zoned out a number of times and didn't seem to miss anything significant.
Could you see Last Town on Earth being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No, the story is too long and slow.
