Reviews

Chariots of Fire – with oars [Brown’s] descriptions of the key races are exciting and dramatic, and it is impossible not to get wrapped up in the emotion
*The Times*

Like Laura Hillenbrand’s Seabiscuit and Michael Lewis’s Moneyball before it, The Boys in the Boat has all the ingredients for a film adaptation . . . a moving, enlightening and gripping tale.
*Financial Times*

Daniel James Brown has written a robust, emotional snapshot of an era, a book you will recommend to your best friends.
*James Bradley, Flags of Our Fathers, Flyboys, The Imperial Cruise*

A fine-grained portrait of the Depression era . . . inspiring
*Guardian*

The Boys in the Boat is a triumph of great writing matched with a magnificent story. Daniel James Brown strokes the keyboard like a master oarsman, blending power and grace to propel readers toward a heart-pounding finish.
*Mitchell Zuckoff, author of Lost in Shangri-La and Frozen in Time.*

For this nautical version of Chariots of Fire, Brown crafts an evocative, cinematic prose … studded with engrossing explanations of rowing technique and strategy, exciting come-from-behind race scenes, and the requisite hymns to "mystic bands of trust and affection" forged on the water.
*Publishers Weekly*

A story this breathtaking demands an equally compelling author, and Brown does not disappoint. The narrative rises inexorably, with the final 50 pages blurring by with white-knuckled suspense as these all-American underdogs pull off the unimaginable.
*The Seattle Times*
