==Reception==
''Seabiscuit: An American Legend'' enjoyed near universal acclaim, with most praise centering on the compelling nature of the story and expert storytelling of Hillenbrand, who had done much research. Praising her accounts of the races, the ''Sports Illustrated'' writer Ron Fimrite said, "She writes about the confusion, turbulence and artistry of a race with the same grasp of sound and movement that Whitney Balliett brings to jazz in his 'New Yorker' profiles () no mean accomplishment."〔Fimrite, Ron (March 05, 2001), "If looks were everything, this great champion would have been pulling a cart". ''Sports Illustrated''. 94 (10):24〕 The ''Economist'' found "the research is meticulous, the writing elegant and concise, so that every page transports you back to the period,"〔(February 24, 2001), "Three men and a pony," ''Economist''. 358 (8210):87〕 and Jim Squires of the ''New York Times'' likewise called her research "meticulous."〔Jim Squires (March 11, 2001), "Can Do!", ''New York Times'' :12〕 ''Newsweek'' noted that "what chiefly distinguishes this account is the straightforward pleasure Hillenbrand takes in the accomplishments of her heroes, two-footed and four-footed alike."〔Jones, Malcolm (March 12, 2001), "Neck and Neck With Glory,"'' Newsweek''. 137 (11):73〕 ''People'' magazine said that "Hillenbrand's jargon-free language makes the races--and the period--exhilarating."〔Sanders, Erica (May 14, 2001), "Seabiscuit (Book Review)".'' People''. 55 (19):54〕 More conservatively, Karen Valby with ''Entertainment Weekly'' found "Hillenbrand's account ... saddled by loosely connected anecdotes and confused scene-setting," finally giving the book a grade of a "B".〔Valby, Karen (March 16, 2001), "SEABISCUIT (Book Review)".'' Entertainment Weekly''. (587):62〕 William Nack, the author of ''Secretariat: The Making of a Champion'', stated: "You had clearly created a world, and you had done so with a distinctly lyrical feel and touch." 〔Seabiscuit: A Reader's Guide - A Conversation with Laura Hillenbrand〕
