A beautiful, lyrical book that takes us under the surface of the marshy coastline of New England. Hanlon introduces us to the unique ecology of the area where freshwater meets saltwater, from the fully immersive perspective of the swimmer. I thoroughly enjoyed it. ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty

A fast-paced read chronicling the quest to break what had been considered an unbreakable human barrier- the four-minute mile. Bascomb tells the tale of the three men, and their different personalities and training methods, who pushed each other to achieve this goal. While Roger Bannister would ultimately prevail in being the first, it was the effort of all three that made it possible. A reminder that the ultimate barrier to human performance is not physical, but mental. ~ Reviewed by Allen Boulet

At 24, Seaver led the Amazin' Mets to their unexpected 1969 World Series title. His stellar career was shaded by shoddy treatment by some baseball brass, and his final years as a successful winemaker were clouded by dementia. Madden successfully conveys Seaver's exceptional talent, toughness, and ultimate tragedy. ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare

Professional wrestling is often a David vs Goliath story. A regular joe goes into battle against a hulking colossus, a beer swilling redneck fights against his corporate employers, or a small upstart promotion tries taking on the establishment. Killing the Business by Nick and Matt Jackson ("The Young Bucks") settles into this groove nicely. Smaller, athletic brothers (not twins, they'll point out) raised in the pro-wrestling oasis of Southern California, the Jacksons found international fame (and infamy) through hard work, luck, and more than a few missteps along the way. A breezy read, Killing the Business is among the best pro wrestling books published in the past few years. ~ Reviewed by Chris Linendoll
