Loved the book, loved the presentation of it because given management and just their general style, these were as far of details as we were going to get that were not totally regurgitated.
I have to say, I actually found it rather inspirational, and the connection to flying - even if it's not that nascent passion that I had, I can understand that connection to it, going back to childhood - to read how he writes about ascending for the first time, and then ascending for the first time after being cleared of cancer? Boy, that was something.
Did it become largely about flying in the end? Yes. But I think he went on a fair amount about fencing when that was the new thing he was mastering as well. It's just how his life's gone.
Could I have done with more in the vein of everything leading up to Sarajevo? Absolutely - but in the end it was the story I was hoping for and the one that really did make the most sense for Bruce to tell.
