James J. Braddock, dubbed “Cinderella Man” by Damon Runyon, was a once promising light heavyweight for whom a string of losses in the ring and a broken right hand happened to coincide with the Great Crash. With one good hand, Braddock was forced to labor on the docks of Hoboken. Only his manager, Joe Gould, still believed in him, finding fights for Braddock to help feed his wife and children. In less than twelve months Braddock went from the relief rolls to face heavyweight champion Max Baer, the Livermore Butcher Boy, renowned for having allegedly killed two men in the ring. A ten-to-one underdog, Braddock carried the hopes and dreams of the working class on his shoulders. And when boxing was the biggest sport in the world, when the heavyweight champion was the biggest star in the world, his unlikely upset made Braddock the most popular champion boxing has ever seen.

Against the gritty backdrop of the Depression, Cinderella Man brings this dramatic all-American story to life, evoking a time when the sport of boxing resonated with a country trying desperately to get back on its feet. Rich in anecdote and color, steeped in history, and full of human interest, Cinderella Man is a classic David and Goliath tale that transcends the sport.©2005 Jeremy Schaap; (P)2005 Books on Tape, Inc.

Great book, probably could have downloaded the abridged and left some of the fighter boxing history out of the book, but absolutely the kind of story you wish you would here more in todays society. Great story about determination and human kindness. Want to see the movie now.

Cinderella Man is right

Thank goodness I was "exposed" to the namesake movie only after listening to this book! (Neither the movie credits on IMDb nor the special features on the DVD version list Jeremy Schaap, which leads me to suspect that the only things that the two have in common are the story and the title.) There are so many things I loved about the book that unfortunately didn't make it into the Ron Howard movie--the ambience of the boxing world (and the world beyond sports) in those days, the highly disciplined (and quite possibly extremist) training that Jim Braddock put himself through in preparation for his fight against Baer, the much more sympathetic depiction of "characters" (including Baer, who became a sacrificial scarecrow in the movie) other than Braddock and his immediate entourage...(the list goes on)

no relation to the movie? (in a good sense)

If you're a boxing fan, you will love this book. Even if you aren't a boxing fan, it's still a great story of perseverance and overcoming hardship. How sometimes the hardest stretch of your life unwittingly prepares you to capture the best part of your life.

Amazing Story . . .

This was my favorite boxing book by far. the narrator is also the best audiobook narrator I've heard, again by far. He also narrated A.J Liebling's very fine The Sweet Science. This book was superbly written. It takes you places. James J Braddock's story is iconic and legendary, and this tells it more richly than even the wonderful film on Braddock.

My favorite boxing book

This book is a documentary and reads as such, which is to say that it doesn't read like a novel. It's not a "page-turner," but it is an interesting portrayal of a tenacious boxer during the depression.

Pretty good for what it is

Any additional comments?

As an avid boxing fan, I really enjoyed listening to old stories. The book was quite factual but I liked it, as well as both main characters Max Bear and Jim Braddock, who was greatly portrayed in the movie by Russel Crowe.

Cindirella man

Occasionally, truth is more compelling than fiction. Damon Runyon's quote, “In all the history of the boxing game, you'll find no human interest story to compare with the life narrative of James J. Braddock,” is a very good summary of this book. I'm not a boxing fan, but I found this book to be completely absorbing. Jeremy Schaap (author) and Grover Gardner (narrator) bring the characters to life in this entertaining history of boxing during the depression era. If you have seen the movie, then I urge you to listen to this book for a more complete picture of the circumstances surrounding the match between Jim Braddock and Max Baer. If not, then prepare yourself for a thoroughly enjoyable journey back into boxing's illustrious history.

Fantastic Listen

I liked him because he was all about taking care of his family. He put everything on the line and succeeded. He was an inspiration to the whole country 🇺🇸🇺🇲

It really is too bad such a great story is weighed down by such a nondescript and blas? title because the story is a very entertaining one. Set during the peak of the Great Depression, Cinderella Man walks us through the peaks and valleys of turn-of-the-century boxing before entourages and scandal turned the public off. Although mostly focused on the story of James J. Braddock, we also hear of his contemporaries, their rises, reigns and falls.

This story will inevitably raise comparisons to a contemporary "Cinderella" story: Seabisquit. The horse, however, wins this match hands down. Nevertheless, take a listen to both and transport yourself easily to a different time.
