I started listening to the aubiobook, because I worshipped “Seabiscuit, an American Legend.” Unfortunately this book is not on par with her previous work. As with many other epic stories that extend over a long part of a character's life, this book falls into the same trap of becoming more of a laundry lists of facts than a cohesive narrative. I will probably stop reading soon. Maybe, I will reread Seabiscuit.
Update: I still finished reading, out of respect for Hillebrand, but my opinion is unchanged. Unfortunately unimpressing, although some of the events recounted would have made magnificent stories.
