Long Mile Home gives what must be the definitive account of the 2013 Boston Marathon in its 216th year. the book is truly riveting. you soon begin to feel you know many of the people involved in the marathon -- participators and, in some cases, their families and friends who supported them, as well as the people who planned the race, charted the course, and the members of the Boston Police Force who were assigned to the marathon. the book is so vividly written that it becomes an almost personal experience for the reader. for me, it was also an emotional experience, and one of the most beautifully books i've ever read in my 60 years of reading adult books.… (mais)

Their account takes you minute by minute from the start of race to the days/weeks immediately following the attack. They delve into the lives of the victims, the race organizers and the 2 Chechen brothers who orchestrated the attack.
Well written, researched and a book hard to put down once you start reading.
