The end of the story of Puma was sad and of Adidas even sadder. But by the end of the book, I almost didn't care anymore what happened to Adidas. No, make that I didn't care about what happened to Adidas.

This is well-written history of the Adidas company is a delight to read. It provides a great overview of the history of sports marketing.

She lost gas at the end. Too many characters, too thinly sketched, over too long a time period. One of those books I kept hoping would get better.
