"A frothy frolicking tale..." -- The Honolulu Advertiser.
"The Honolulu Marathon in fine print. . .written in a style known to journalists as
'gonzo' which is a kind of free-wheeling, free-form juxtaposition of words,
impressions, thoughts and assorted matter." -- The Honolulu Star Bulletin.
"This book contains a revelation. Read it and you will realize that these people who
run marathons are wonderful, extraordinary, ordinary, beautiful, normal people. And
every one is different--every one a bona fide character. . . well-written, fun. . . perfect
book to peruse on the plane to Hawaii. You'll get psyched up so high you'll have
trouble landing. And you may never want to come back." -- Running Times
"...Honolulu (Marathon) is now one of the biggest. In this enjoyable look at the race
from both the outside and inside, Osmun shows why. . . . he takes us along as he
himself runs the race, a fitting climax to his interesting story." -- Publishers Weekly.
"Stunningly vivid. It was all I could do to resist dropping everything, packing my
running gear, and heading straight for Hawaii." -- James F. Fixx, author of The
Complete Book of Running.
"Osmun, a former sportswriter for The Honolulu Advertiser, knows how to write a
good feature. . . .I found myself quite fascinated by his dramatis personae. . .
(Osmun) has succeeded in paying homage to those runners who bring a special
excitement each year to sun-swept Honolulu." -- The Runner Magazine (now Runner's
World).
"Osmun engagingly captures the spirit and the challenge of the marathon, the color
and the magic of its island setting, and the extraordinary character of the people who
have made it into a great sporting event. . . . His inspiring account makes The
Honolulu Marathon literally a breathtaking experience. . ." -- Northern California
