Review
"The most exciting sports narrative I've read."
--Wall Street Journal
"No American can be aloof from the competitive drive... The Shell Game is a report from along that drive's very shaft."
--New York Times Book Review
"The shelf that holds books which capture and make clear the athletic task is extremely short, but we're going to have to find another three quarters of an inch on it. Make room for The Shell Game. It's a small classic that belongs permanently on that shelf."
--Running
"Kiesling's writing pulses... Brims with humor, poetic description and a strong penchant for storytelling."
--Evening Post, Charleston, SC
