It started off so well and so interestingly. But most of the book felt dedicated to a catalog of specific games Thorpe played and I wanted more of the man explained.

Really incredible and extensive research; I found the book somewhat repetitive and not trusting of its reader to remember previously mentioned information. Considering the book's length, perhaps some repetitions/reminders weren't necessary.
