Customer Reviews

Fulvous !

Bruce Glikin's work is good and original. The parts that are original, though, aren't good, and the parts that are good aren't original.

Inspiring

Take Once a Runner and the Olympian combine them and then set it in a modern context, and you'll have a good idea of what the author has accomplished with this novel. Glikin writes with an insider's view of competitive running, from the workouts to the politics, and does it in a captivating story. I found my own heart racing as I read about the trials sacrifiess and successes of this memorable character. Definitely a recommended read, especially for those who run or just enjoy track and field.

Thoroughly captures your attention from start to finish!

"Slinger" is, without a doubt, the best running novel I have read. You travel the highs and lows of competition and your stomach churns with nervous energy before each race. This book captures the essence of elite competition and all of the things, both good and bad, that go along with trying to compete at the highest level.
