Review
...engaging and sympathetically rendered... picaresque in form, taking the reader ringside to vividly rendered, in several cases graphically brutal, matches... McRae brings to the highly charged, obsessive world of professional boxing a novelist's eye and ear for revealing detail and convincingly recalled dialogue. This is an impassioned book.... an immensely readable book that anyone with an interest in boxing will want to own. -- The Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, Joyce Carol Oates
