Blake Williams Period 7- English 9May 12, 2010Pre �Pre� is a book written by Tom Jordan and many of Steve�s close friends, coaches, teammates, and family members. Steve Prefontaine, one of the worlds greatest distance runners, grew up in Coos Bay, Oregon and ran in college at Oregon College. This book shows details from him in high school, Marshfield High School, to his college years. �Pre� describes Prefontaine�s determination and drive in running. His state of mind not to lose. I really recommend this book to any runners and even other athletes. It is a because explaining how he wasn�t that talented by birth with athleticism, height, strength, but he found a great opportunity and what he was good at and seized it. It is a very motivating book and makes you want to stand out in your own way because Pre was very unique and insubordinate. He was kind of a rebel of running, he had his own style, his own way, and if you weren�t thinking his way then he didn�t care but still ran his way. He did things people did think any man could do and pushed himself to and through his bodies limits. I think the book is kind of similar all the way through. It doesn�t really have a climax or anything along the literature lines so it is kind of hard to keep interested if your not into running. It is a good book but I think it needs to change the mood more than what it does cause how the author speaks makes it feel the same all the way through the story.-blake
