Book Reviews of Trizophrenia: Inside the Minds of a Triathlete
Book Review: Funny, well-illustrated parody of an introduction to triathlon
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a hilarious book filled with anecdotes and even a little information about triathlons, triathletes, triathlon equipment, etc. Unfortunately, the book seems to be aimed at those who have never done a triathlon before, but most of the humor in the book will appeal more to existing triathletes. I'm just not sure that beginning triathletes are going to bother buying a book that is, essentially, a parody of an introduction to the sport, and I doubt that many seasoned triathletes will bother buying a book that is so introductory, even if it is a parody. That being said, I have immensely enjoyed the book, the footnotes (~50% of the text!), and especially the illustrations. I personally bought this book because I recognized Jef Mallet's illustrations, and I wanted a light read. In that context, I have not been disappointed, and I hope it manages to sell well despite the aforementioned target audience problem.
Summary of Trizophrenia: Inside the Minds of a Triathlete
Life is better when you?re a triathlete. That is what author and illustrator Jef Mallett believes. This light-hearted declaration of love for triathlon is colored with humor, personal experience, and felicitous connections to literature, history, and music. Beginning with the alluring excitement (and terror) of the new triathlete, Mallett delves into the intoxicating subculture of the sport that is three sports. Sweeping text and amusing illustrations bring to life the countless conundrums a triathlete embraces—from the glory of training to the lasting rewards of racing. Triathletes and those who love them will find this book a fun and worthy indulgence.
