Jaimee brought me home a copy of this book and his other Miracle Game from the author s home 478 
As a Greek native I really enjoyed reading this book I loved the interweaving of history philosophy and the lives of these characters It was an intriguing story I must say however that someone needs to go back and edit the book literally So many grammatical mistakes the apostrophes for the plural and such it was distracting at times This is a story about a woman who is looking for in her life and she ends up finding even of what she might have bargained for I enjoyed how the author was drawn to this story yet again showing that teachers are powerful and heavily influential in people s lives 478 Marathon is a wonderfully written book about self discovery and redemption that points out the triviality of chasing career at the cost of everything else While not a traditional romance novel it shows the power of love much better than any bodice ripper paperback 478 I picked this up at a library sale last year It was an OK story probably could have been better with some really good editing I am guessing I would have rated it higher if I hadn t been so distracted by the typos and grammatical errors and the incidences of would of instead of would have that absolutely littered the pages of this book The story is about Marianna the one female partner in a high powered NY law firm She is so focused on work that she didn t even go to her father s funeral After a time she reconnects with her Uncle Ion an old friend of her parents He leads her on a journey of self discovery that changes her life The writing was a little self conscious and the story was pretty cliche but not bad for a first book Apparently the Ion of the story is a real person who was one of the author s school teachers 478 This is a book that really had me thinking throughout It is a book about self discovery and what we feel as Americans to be so very important in life It reminds me a bit of a Tuesdays with Morrie type book Marianna becomes reconnected with her Uncle Ion friend of the family and ends up taking him home to Greece and meanwhile learns some special and important things about herself What is such an interesting story and then to find out that it is based upon the life of a real individual was really cool There are alot of references to Greek Mythology and some of our favorites Odysseus Achilles and most importantly the run of Pheidippides. Marathon watches I really enjoyed and highly recommend this book 478 Marianna a partner in a New York law firm misses her father s funeral but reconnects with an old family friend She takes him to Greece to complete his life s mission and discovers herself in the process 478
