Boys in the Boat

This was a good book. It was a great movie. I recommend it.
Synopsis: In Washinton State, 1935, the coach of crewing teams offers, room, board & paid work to the 8 young men (+1 alternate) who earn a place on the Junior scull crew.
What he gets are 8 young men who are hungry, and able to learn the skills needed to row as one. There is the excitement of races, lives and loves.
After the movie, I went home and pulled up my e-reader copy of the book. The book has the post-race lives of the 8 "boys", their cox, their coaches, and the man who built the boat.
