Customer Reviews

In lane three, Alex Archer

This book was a great book. If you are a swimmer you can relate to all the training and the time you have for everything else. If you have ever dreamed of going to the Olympics this book shows you what you have to need and go through. Alex shows courage and faith in this book. The book also gives examples of a swimmer's friendships and dreams. "In Lane Three, Alex Archer" is a really good book, it tells the story of a swimmer's life when she is training and trying to have fun.

Get your hands on this book!

"Alex" is a brilliant piece of writing. It is thought-provoking and is just one of those books that you can't stop reading. Alex is someone who gives us all hope and ambition...she is a champion and a survivor. The book is well worth the read

I have a new favorite book!

Unlike many of the customers reviewing this book, I am not a swimmer. As far as I can tell, this book can and should be read by anyone no matter what you are interested in! It has everything you could want in a book; drama, comedy, and most importantly, an intrigueing story! Like another reviewer, this is the first book I have ever read that made me cry. I could, and probably will, read this book many times through without tiring of it. I encourage EVERYONE, not only swimmers, to read this wonderful, exciting, and beautifully written book.

This book recieves 10 stars! **********

I just want to tell anybody who hasn't read this book that they have never seen a great author at her best! Tessa Duder, you have really inspired me with your work. I love to read and hope that maybe I become a writer one day. A book never seemed to touch me as much as your did though. I thank you for your effort to writing this book. Thanx a million!

This was an outstanding and very well written book.

I am 12 years old and I chose theis book to read after reading the back cover in library and reconizing that it was a movie I had seen recently on T.V.. I enjoyed reading even after I had seen the movie. I would highly recommend this to any person any age.
