World's Greatest Athlete

This book is about Jim Thorpe's life as an athlete. He had his ups and downs, but in the end everything turned out ok. Jim had a lot of hardships in his life but he got through them and grew up to become the world's greatest athlete. Thorpe won both the decathalon and pentathalon, setting records that would stand for many years. I found this book very informative and interesting. If you read this book I think you will agree.
