This was a very interesting take on an autobiography. Most of the story was told in the first person, like a conversation with Pauline (I feel like I know her well enough now to call her by her first name), but then all of a sudden a quote would pop up from someone else as though they were being interviewed by someone about Pauline. Did she interview people about herself or grab quotes from other places? Either way, it would occasionally catch me off guard and make me wonder. For me, the point that stood out the most is something I feel the athletic community is still grappling with. How to keep these skilled people involved in athletics while at the same time trying to not open them to bribes, etc? What level of support can be allowed for the athletes to be comfortable and able to perform at their best? The western world needs to consider this. I will also admit that I spent a bit of time online trying to find a video of Pauline actually running sideways. She gives a wonderful description early on in the book but I wanted to see if the mental image she conjured matched reality. When I started this book, I admittedly had no heard of Pauline Davis from the Bahamas, but now I am 100% a fan of her on and off the track!
