    Cinderella Man Book Review

    CINDERELLA MAN


    Category: Books
    Genre: History
    Author: Michael C DeLisa


    You want to read a good book ? Then I highly recommend picking up a copy of
    " Cinderella Man " by Michael C. DeLisa. I've seen the movie with Russell
    Crowe as James J. Braddock. I liked it so much that I went out and bought
    the DVD. Guess what ? I liked this book even better.

    Mr. DeLisa did an outstanding job of following the life and career of a true
    American hero. What I liked the most about this book was it was not just
    about Jim Braddock. The author detailed much information on the careers of
    Max Baer, Max Schmeling and Joe Louis. Also the struggles for promotional
    rights in the Big Apple and the whole boxing empire.

    Although the gutsy Mr. Braddock is center stage, in reality this is a
    history book. It is a valuable addition to boxing lore. It is certainly
    worth having.
