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.

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*
