Reviews Weigh-In on Sares' 'Boxing is My Sanctuary.'
Press Release
The first reviews are in for local author Ted Sares’s recently published book, Boxing is my Sanctuary, and they are most laudatory.
Well known boxing writer Jim Amato states, “…This is the most heart felt boxing book I've read in years. Ted's perspective on the sport is absolutely endearing. To me he is the A.J. Liebling of our era. That is the highest compliment I can pay to a boxing writer and Ted has surely earned it. I highly recommend the book to any boxing fan. It is like walking through history, up close and personal”
Writer John Howard of the Ventura County Star had this to say: “The passion he displays is, I believe, unequaled and his enthusiasm for boxing can't be contained. At times, I could almost feel the words come alive and jump off the pages. The author has a story to tell and does a great job in bringing out the many fights he's attended. At times, I felt like I was right there with Ted and his dad, "Big John," feeling the hooks to the body, hearing the roar of the crowd, the smell of sweat and perfume, the taste of foamy Meister Brau, and the juicy Italian beef with roasted peppers.”
Harold Lederman said the “...the book brought back so many great memories. The author has an amazing memory. There were so many great stories and great names in the book that I had absolutely forgotten.”
Other writers, boxers and officials have high praise for the book as well.
Boxing is my Sanctuary can be purchased in book stores, through the web via Amazon, Borders or Barnes and Noble, or directly through IUniverse or the author, who can be reached at tedsares@roadrunner.com
