Foxcatcher: A True Story of Murder, Madness and the Quest for Olympic Gold by Mark Schultz

2.0

This is an incredible story so I really wanted to like the book. But I just couldn't. There was way too much time spent on relaying how awesome Mark Schultz was as a wrestler, and he just came across as not a very nice human being. I mean, I get that it takes a certain type of personality to get to the top of a sport, but I would have thought that with the help of a writer the "poor me, everything was stacked against me" stuff wouldn't have been laid on quite so thick. Sorry.
