Summary: Uncommon Heart
Comment: Even if I were not a runner, there is a lot to take away from this book. This is one of the most inspiring stories of my generation. A tale of courage, love, and beating the odds. Annie's heart is uncommon alright -- both biologically and emotionally. You can't help but be moved to "just do it!"

Summary: Uncommon Heart
Comment: As a runner myself I was looking for those "pearls of wisdom" on what makes one succeed. Well, I found it in this book...desire! I walked away from this book learning that success comes from a strong desire and from patience.
I think that anyone looking for an insight into the world of track and field will find this book very enjoyable. Unfortunately, in our country running is often equated to a four letter word and it is not looked at as a sport. Well, Anne shows us that of all sports running is challenging, exciting and very rewarding.
Congratulations Anne on such a moving story.

Summary: A great book!!!
Comment: I lived through a lot of Anne's experiences and was there to see many of her victories and the struggle it took to achieve her many successes. The book is true to the real experience and portrays not only Anne's history but the history of road racing and its great expansion in the 70's and 80's. It was the "Golden Age" of the sport and Anne and her cowriter, John Parker, do an excellent job of capturing that era. I've read a lot of sport biographies and this is one of the best I've come across. Well written and an interesting story, John and Anne have captured the essence of the time in a great biography.
