Foxcatcher. As a wrestler myself in high school and college, I thoroughly embrace the accomplishments of the Schultz boys. I never understood what was missing in so many kids lives who were not able to fight thru the adversity that wrestlers achieve. The book does a marvelous job of empathisizing the experiences a brother duo made for achieving such remarkable careers in my favorite sport. As a father of two state champion wrestlers I know what sacrifice is required. Just like Mark, my oldest son mentored and coached his 8 year younger brother to many championships. Love, joy and rivalry are all appreciated by this reader. Thank you for this final chapter.

Foxcatcher. PERFECT!!

Excellent read. I read frequently, and this is the best book I have read in a long time. Mark Schultz does an excellent job at re telling old wrestling and life stories, as well as conveying to the reader how great of a person and talented of an athlete his brother Dave was. If you want to hear the real story of "Foxcatcher" and the Schultz brothers, read this book.

More informative than movie. This was a great book. I was glad to read about the history of Mark and Dave regarding their childhood and how they each came to be wrestlers. I learned about wrestling but did skip some the parts with heavy match descriptions. I'm a girl. Not too into that, however was found the scoring explanations very interesting. Different from movie but way more real. Being an Olympian belong only to the deserving and worthy. Money can't buy victory.

Amazing read!. I could not put this book down. Sad, tragedy, exciting. Great sad book.

Foxcatcher. The "woe is me" is overwhelming in this book. Du Pont did not ruin Mark's career, Mark ruined his own career. In addition to major anger management issues and no self esteem he appears self destructive. Both brothers knew from the beginning that du Pont was not a "stable" individual, yet they continued to associate with and or work for/with him.

American tragedy. This was a very good book. I appreciate Mark Schultz taking the time to share this story of his brother David.

Foxcatcher. Good did exist after such an evil act. Too bad that a person, such as John DuPont, could live one day longer than Dave Schultz. Hopefully, he is spending his eternity in hell.

Brotherly Love. Awesome read... Can't wait for the movie!

Fills in movie gaps. I bought this book after seeing the movie - which I felt didn't tell this story in the best way - and sensing parts of the story were missing. It does illuminate the real story but you have to wade through a lot to pick it out. It's also very obviously written by someone who isn't an author and someone with more hindsight now than he had when the events actually occurred so you take that into consideration when reading. If you're a wrestler or a fan of the sport you'll probably enjoy this book much more than I did. Overall my post movie curiosity was satiated and while I'm sure I could have just googled for the info, I wanted to read it in Mark's words.
