It must be said that there are no great revelations in Fuel. There are no deep philosophical insights. No philippics against God. No "I returned home only to find what I was looking for was there all along" moments. All there is, is a great story, and wonderfully told. What more could anyone possibly want?

I don't remember reading a book that affected me so acutely. And that's saying a lot, considering I had just read Imran Ahmad's critically acclaimed Unimagined before yours. It was brilliant but didn't sink its claws and fangs into my psyche like yours did.

This debut novel is like a breath of fresh air. His writing style is lyrical yet poignant. It left me wanting more from Chin, and I sure hope this book won't be his last.

Fuel proves to be an easy read and informative and manages to be inspiring without being preachy. It is riveting and there is this sense of anticipation as the protagonist works towards achieving his lifelong dream and learning many other lessons along the way.

An engrossing read that makes you fall in love with the main characters, makes you long to see and feel the poetry of the beautifully-described places, and just breaks your heart into a million pieces with a totally unexpected ending. If I have just one word to describe FUEL, it is "potent".

It was very different; the writing was lyrical and almost poetic with a sense of maturity in it.

I don't normally clip a pen to the book I'm reading, more so a fiction piece. But within the first half hour, I had to start over again as I underlined excerpts of the book which was just simply beautiful writing. What caught my attention from the start is the fact that Chin was able to put into words how most of us would feel when we're in love but are unable to elucidate.

I am having a hard time putting into words the emotions your book brought out in me. I laughed, I was intrigued and I cried. It was the best book I have ever read. I was amazed with your knowledge of running. You were spot on in your descriptions about running form. Thank you for reviving "the dreamer" in me. I hope you do write another book one day. I will certainly be one of the first to buy it.

Thank you so much for your amazing work. I read FUEL in two days. Not because I have been stuck in airports weathering the storm but because I couldn't put it down. Thank you for sharing your gift with us mere mortals!

Wow! This book lulled me into a false sense of security, and then came at me with such tour de force with its juggernaut ending. Fuel is crafted beautifully, and I found myself going back to re-read many of this author's words because of they way they were ingeniusly assembled. I'm huge into running, it's a very essential part of my life. This is one of the best, if not the best running book I've ever read. I highly recommend it to you running folk who love a good underdog story.

I find it hard to stick with a book unless it draws me and keeps me curious and so many books have fallen by the wayside because of this, however this book has kept me curious throughout it's 200 plus pages. Towards the end even though I looked forward to every chapter I also grew sad that the book would soon end... I cannot recommend this book enough to you, it is truly a masterpiece.

I just finished your book at 2am last night...not sure whether to feel happy, sad, bewildered or all of the above. Excellent piece of work! Thank you for writing it.

Well - - - I JUST turned the last page of FUEL. I loved it. I have to say that you have quite a way with writing & you seemed to have found your calling.

I've been accused in the past of epeolatry, and I have to say that on a literary level, this has to be one of the more intelligent books I've read in a while. No, it wasn't heavy, unlike books of its ilk. For the most part, the language wasn't overbearing, but smart. Jeremy, your book was brilliant. It was engaging. An emotional journey into the dark depths of nowhere. And I plan to read it again in case I missed some of the buried treasure.

We all know that running isn't just about putting one foot in front of the other, it affects every aspect of our lives, our diet, our friendships, our family, our work and so much more. The title, Fuel, sums up the story with an absolute perfectness that no other word could muster. What are the different things that fuel you when you run? What fuels your body? What fuels your mind? Unlike almost all the other books on my reading list this book could be enjoyed by more than just the running community, it's one that I think the friends and family of runners would like.

I really liked it! I found your writing style very descriptive, poetic and well paced. I say you have a winner on your hands :)

It's a great read for anybody who's ever followed a dream, worked for 'the man,' or has been in love.

Your book has touched me deeply, emotionally and spiritually. I saw shades of myself in both Timmy and Cambria - as a marathon runner, and sadly, as a failed lover myself. I found it uncanny that, at times, their thoughts and struggles reflected painful facts and memories of my past which I've been struggling to understand and overcome for the past year or so. But thanks to your book, it has given me hope and a renewed sense of belief to continue persevering, to savour what life has to offer (good or bad) and to start off the new year with a clean slate for myself. Jeremy, thank you for allowing me to believe once more...

Very well written, in a precise, intelligent but "low atmosphere" kind of method (reminds me of the style of very good writers before WW 2). A moving tale that will change your life.

Having devoured so many books in my lifetime, I never thought I'd find one in which I could relate to in so many aspects. The last book to strike a chord with this heart of mine was The Choice from Og Mandino many many many moons ago.

Fuel was given to me by my old friend, Dato Stephen Voon, and I am so thankful for this gift. I enjoyed your writing immensely. Keep going! I will be waiting for your next!

None of the books i have read before carried the meaning of life so clearly as Fuel. Jeremy, thanks for writing such a wonderful book.

I enjoyed it immensely... The story resonates with me on several levels (love, advertising, London, and especially, running). Its good to know that you have many more books in you, and I really look forward to them. So please keep writing. It would be a shame not to.

Brian Wee wrote such a glowing review of your book that I literally ran out and got it the very same day from Bee in Jaya One. I was not disappointed. Thank you so much for this wonderful book.

The author (this apparently is his first book) seems to have the ability to see average things from a completely unique perspective. And when you read his perspective you say to yourself, "Wow, I wish I could think that way."

Not the typical romance novel, this book is a refreshing and welcomed addition to my collection of great reads. Packed with a wide array of solid but "i-didn't-know-that" facts, "Fuel" is for the hopelessly romantic but cerebral reader. The world has waited too long for Jeremy Chin to dish this one out.

I don't normally read non-fiction since I prefer Body/Mind/Spirit books; however, this book is engaging and will fill you with the right energy to chase your own dreams. I look forward to more from this author.

I originally thought it was a book about running which did not interest me at all. While waiting for George RR Martin to finish his next book I decided to go ahead and read Fuel. I am really glad that I got to experience this book. It is a emotional roller coaster that keeps you engaged throughout. I am even embarrassed to say that I was on the train blowing my nose and starting to get watery towards the end. Despite the embarrassment I would still read future offerings by this author.

A few chapters into the book, I already knew that this was no ordinary writer, that he was of a rare breed that could pull together great story telling, intelligent ideas, beautiful prose and the human condition. No book has ever affected me as deeply as this one has. Overall, it was an easy read, and I couldn't put the book down once I got started. The final one third of the book was executed with great tour de force and was very potent, and I found he could not have delivered a more beautiful final paragraph to end his story.
